Ferhat Tunç is a Turkish-Kurdish singer-songwriter and activist whose music blends Anatolian folk traditions with contemporary sounds, often carrying strong social and political messages. Born in Tunceli, Turkey, he emerged in the late 1970s as part of Turkey’s protest music scene, using his work to address themes like workers’ rights, ethnic equality, and environmental justice. Albums like *Marşlar Ve Ağıtlar (1978-1985)* and *30 Yılın Ezgileri* showcase his decades-long commitment to grassroots storytelling, while recent releases like *Çapulcu* and *Kobani* reflect his ongoing engagement with current struggles. Tunç’s raw vocals and saz-driven melodies have made him a resonant voice for dissent, though his outspoken lyrics have occasionally led to censorship or legal battles in Turkey. Whether through fiery anthems or acoustic reflections like *Ömür Dediğin*, his music remains a bridge between cultural heritage and modern activism.
