Olcay Bayır gives voice to the hardships of the valiant people of Anatolia, who, despite innumerable injustices, continue to preserve their language, culture and customs.

Tu Gulî, a collection of Kurdish Alevi soul-infused songs, honours her multicultural and multilinguistic background.

While blending her own personal memoirs with London's modern cosmopolitan sounds, she also pays tribute to the strong, devoted women of her Anatolian geography, including her own grandmothers and her mother…

“exceptional vocal ability… her music is infused with personal experiences and cultural heritage…” – Concertzender

“we can enjoy Bayir’s voice thanks to vocal recordings made at the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in London…” - JazzQuad
