Tu Guli

Olcay Bayir 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.
