Grup Gündoğarken, a Turkish pop music band founded in 1982 by İlhan Şeşen, initially gained recognition through incidental music performances. The group included İlhan Şeşen's nephews, Gökhan Şeşen and Burhan Şeşen. Their early collaborations with Levent Kırca and Ferhan Şensoy, along with their generic tune for the TV program Olacak o Kadar, marked significant milestones in their career. In 1986, they released their debut album Bir Yaz Daha Bitiyor. The band participated in the Turkish selection for the Eurovision Song Contest in 1988 with "Resimler" and achieved notable success with the hit song "Ankara'dan Abim Geldi" in 1992. Subsequent albums include Mest of Gündoğarken (1998), Gündoğarken 1999 (1999), and Istanbul Athens Istanbul (2000). İlhan Şeşen passed away on May 26, 2025.
