The foundations of “Ersen ve Dadaşlar” were first laid in 1970, with Cem Karaca having founded the band “Kardaşlar”. In September 1972, he left the band and a rare event occurred in world music history. While Cem Karaca, upon leaving “Kardaşlar”, joined the band “Moğollar”, their soloist, Ersen Dinleten, ended up working with “Kardaşlar”. This soloist exchange had been initiated because “Moğollar” had been considering an international career at that time and thus were in need of someone who could speak foreign languages. Since Cem Karaca fit into this as a suitable vocalist for “Moğollar”, such an offer was presented. In July 1973, “Ersen & Kardaşlar” then released their first 45er record “Çakmağı Çak / Güneşe Dön Çiçeğim”. With that record, they musically moved away from Anatolia, gaining more of a rock look. They further performed as guest artists in the Turkish national high school song contest. At the end of that year, they recorded their 45er record “Metelik / Yine Seni Tanırım”.
After Ersen Dinleten had released two singles with “Kardaşlar”, they decided to change the band name. Dinleten hereby said: “If the north has “Kardaşlar” [brothers], then the east has “Dadaşlar” [a word used in Eastern Anatolia, meaning brothers or friends].” The band thus went from "Ersen ve Kardaşlar" to "Ersen ve Dadaşlar". Until the 1980s, the band had a good relationship. However, due to the predicament of rock music in the 80s, Ersen Dinleten ended up continuing on a path separate from “Dadaşlar”.
