Who is Taygun Güleş? Taygun Güleş is a percussionist and rhythm artist whose musical journey began in childhood, tapping rhythms on tables and notebooks. What started as playful beats has grown into a professional career, bringing him to stages where he shares rhythms from different cultures with diverse audiences. Artistic Approach For Taygun, percussion is more than just striking an instrument — it’s about echoing the heartbeat and transforming life’s natural rhythm into music. Whether it’s a darbuka, cajón, or simply his hands, his goal is always the same: to express emotion through rhythm. A Journey on Stage He still remembers his very first performance with a simple darbuka — a defining moment when he realized percussion was not just a hobby, but the center of his life. Since then, he has been performing with musicians from different backgrounds, always exploring new ways to connect through rhythm. A Universal Language What fascinates him most is percussion’s ability to cross cultural boundaries. With his hands, he can channel the passion of Latin America, the depth of Anatolia, or the soul of Africa. For Taygun, rhythm is the purest form of universal communication. Message to the Next Generation He encourages young people to start their musical journey with rhythm: “Learning rhythm is learning the foundation of music. Every beat teaches you patience, discipline, and a deeper awareness of your body and heart.” Vision and Future Today, Taygun continues to grow — leading workshops, performing on stage with different artists, and staying in tune with the evolving world of music. His greatest dream is to share the power of rhythm with as many people as possible, knowing that rhythm doesn’t just reach the ears — it touches the soul.
