Bulutsuzluk Özlemi is a prominent Turkish rock band known for its unique blend of rock music with elements of traditional Turkish sounds and a strong political and social stance. Formed in 1984 by Nejat Yavaşoğulları, the group quickly gained a following with their thought-provoking lyrics and distinctive style. The band's name, which translates to "Yearning for Cloudlessness," is symbolic of their desire for clarity and change within their social and political environment.

Over the years, Bulutsuzluk Özlemi has established itself as a significant voice in the Turkish music scene, offering a rich catalog of albums and singles that reflect both personal and communal struggles and triumphs. With tracks like "Beynim Zonkluyor," "Bedreddin," and "Hayat Geçerken / Mücella," they have displayed a consistent ability to touch upon issues such as individuality, freedom, and justice. Their 2013 release "Her Şeyin Farkındayım (Gezi Parkındayım)" directly addressed the Gezi Park protests, reinforcing their role as socially conscious musicians. As Bulutsuzluk Özlemi crosses over three decades of music-making with albums such as "Bulutsuzluk Senfoni" and "Numara," they maintain a legacy that resonates with resilience and the ongoing pursuit of social conscience.
