Orhan Hakalmaz is a distinguished Turkish folk musician, whose dulcet voice and mastery of traditional Turkish music have contributed to his reputation as a contemporary torchbearer of the genre. Imbued with the cultural richness of Anatolia, his work often encompasses a broad range of Turkish folk songs, with particular attention to the heartfelt stories they narrate and the authentic instruments that accompany them.

Born in the town of Akçaabat in the Trabzon Province, Orhan Hakalmaz has dedicated his career to preserving the heritage of Turkish folk music, as evident in his extensive discography. His most recent releases such as "Türküler 1 / Kara Tren," "Bu Vatan Bizim," and "Sentez (Türkülerle Türkiye)" underscore his commitment to connecting past and present in a musical synthesis that resonates with both nostalgia and contemporaneity. The albums like "Elhamdulillah," "Aheste," and "Türküler Seni Bekler" reflect his ability to capture the emotional depth and societal reflections embedded within Turkish folk music. Hakalmaz's "İnsanı Yetiştiren Türküler 1" suggests an understanding of folk music not just as art but as an intrinsic part of human development and cultural identity.
