Şanlıurfa, which has a history of 12,000 years as a settlement centre, follows a course dating back to the same dates in terms of musical history. If a comprehensive research is carried out, we believe that music culture, like many other firsts, spread from Şanlıurfa to the world. When it is scientifically determined that Şanlıurfa was the first city where human beings settled down, music, which is one of the basic needs of human beings, must have started with this date. Because it is a scientific fact that the history of music has been with the history of humanity. Due to the fact that Şanlıurfa has been at a very important crossroads on the Silk Road in history and has been a centre for various religions, cultures and civilisations, its music has also been fed from a wide range of sources and has reached its rightful reputation today.

The more individual and local its source is, the more universal its language is. Şanlıurfa folk songs encompass all humanity as they come from the heart, and the sincere and touching/poignant voice of the people of Şanlıurfa attracts the attention of music lovers all over the world as it blends with the accumulation of civilisations.
