Özgür Baba (tr)
We’re delighted to welcome back hypnotic Turkish folk singer Özgür Baba, who made his Dutch debut at Grauzone in 2020. This time, his performance will take place in a truly special setting, highlighting the depth and intimacy of his music.
Özgür Baba plays the cura baglama—the smallest of the baglama family of lutes, one of Turkey’s most ancient instruments. His songs, drawn from the verses of great Sufi and mystic poets, bridge centuries of tradition, carrying the listener into a space where memory, time, and experience flow together through shared music and verse.
For Özgür Baba, music is more than art—it is a healing tool. His works, including Dertli Dolap and Çaytaşı, have reached millions of listeners online, resonating deeply across Turkey and beyond. He has performed in countries across Europe, North Africa, and Asia, spreading his message of harmony and oneness through song. Back in 2019 Amenra invited Özgür Baba to perform at their 20th anniversary.
It is an honor to invite Özgür Baba back to Grauzone, where his performance will once again create a profound moment of connection for all present.
