KARGO

The band was born in the beautiful city of Istanbul, Turkey. Selim Öztürk and Mehmet Şenol Şişli (MŞŞ formed Kargo to realize their long time dream. Although the Turkish music industry was dominated by pop music, Kargo was able to break through with their first album "Sil Baştan".

Like many bands disagreements occurred and Selim and Mehmet had to find new members for Kargo. The first member to join Kargo was Serkan Çeliköz, who is the brother of Mehmet’s university schoolmate Aykut Çeliköz. Being a music student and able to play wide range of instruments as keyboard, guitar, violin, bassoon and contrabass made Serkan a perfect choice. Later Burak Karataş joined Kargo as the drummer and the only thing left was the long search of the lead singer. Koray Candemir, who impressed the other members by his performance in a local bar, was offered the position.

With his acceptance Kargo began to record their album "Yarına Ne Kaldı" which became a smash hit in 1996. "Yüzleşme", the first single from the album "Yarına Ne Kaldı", rise to the top of the charts even though it was a pure rock song. Kargo proved that a rock group can be successful in the Turkish music industry.

In 1997 Kargo released their second album "Sevmek Zor". "Sevmek Zor" was dedicated to different kind of emotions that can occur in a romantic relationship. Every song had a theme such as pureness, cheating, sadness, guilt, distance, hope, acceptance, pain etc.

Problems that occurred because of unsuccessful tour organization made Kargo bitter. They decided to tell their anger in their next album "Yalnızlık Mevsimi". In "Yalnızlık Mevsimi" all songs were written and arranged in an order to tell a one big story about being alone. It easily became the favorite album of many Kargo fans.

In 2000 Kargo released "Sen Bir Meleksin" as their fifth album. "Sen Bir Meleksin" was soft and acoustic when compared to the previous album Yalnizlik Mevsimi. As this album was perfect for easy listening, Kargo was able to reach many new listeners from older age groups.

After "Sen Bir Meleksin", Kargo decided to take a break to go on with their personal projects. They released a "Best Of" album before this break. Kargo’s lead singer Koray Candemir released his first solo album Sade while Selim and Serkan successfully produced many albums for many different artists.

In 2003 Kargo decided that it was once again time to release an album together. Kargo’s bass player MŞŞ (Mehmet Şenol Şişli) decided not to participate in this new album. Rest of the Kargo started working on their seventh album early in 2004 and "Ateş ve Su" was released in May 2004.
