"Leylim Ley" is a funky and upbeat track that's impossible not to dance to. It features a driving rhythm section, catchy guitar riffs, and an infectious vocal melody. The song is a perfect example of how Altın Gün seamlessly blends traditional Turkish music with contemporary sounds.

Its vinyl version is a must-have for fans of Turkish folk, psychedelic rock, and world music in general. The album is a perfect example of how traditional and contemporary sounds can be seamlessly blended to create something new and exciting.
