	Sanliurfa - All About Turkey
		Urfa remained an important garrison town into Roman times, and was one of the first centers of the early church, but one given over to the monophysite heresy.
		Today, Urfa is a surprising mix of the old and new, with Turkish, Arab and Kurdish peasants who come from the countryside haggling in the traditional bazaar, while young technocrats and engineers hustle between offices and shops lining the modern downtown section.
		A city of some 1,500,000, Urfa is earmarked to be one of Turkey's largest metropolitan areas after the nearby Ataturk Dam 50 miles (75 km) north of town comes on-stream in the 1990s, and has the highest growth rate of population in the 2000s (1,000,000 in 1990).

	YEZDA URFA discography, MP3 and reviews
		Their first demo didn’t atract any interest from the record labels, so they financed and recorded an album by themselves, hoping it would help them in getting a r...
		They finished “Sacred Baboon” as the album was called in 1976, but due to lack of funds they shelved it, and in 1981 they called it a day, and the band split up to pursue other interests, mostly out of the music scene.
		In 1985 a guy called Peter Stoller got his hands on their debut demo album, and brought it to the attention of Greg Walker from Syn-Phonic records, and thus YEZDA URFA were finally discovered, which resulted in the release of their hidden gem “Sacred Baboon” in 1989.

	YEZDA URFA Sacred Baboon reviews and MP3
		Such is the problem I faced from the moment I encountered Yezda Urfa, a mid 70s American band who clearly worship at the altar of Yes and Gentle Giant.
		Taken their name from an iranian city (Yazd) and a Turkish city (Urfa, or sanliurfa) Yezda Urfa was destined to go down in history as an unknown band, fortunatly they were discovered well after not releasing this album.
		Yezda Urfa are very clearly inspired and influenced by the symphonic styles of Gentle Giant and Yes, with very fast almost frantic changes of melodie and pace.
