Through the case study of the Turkish music collective Grup Yorum, we will explore how music is still perceived as a subversive and potentially dangerous tool by the establishment today. Since its inception (1985), Grup Yorum has suffered continuous repression due to its political and social commitment. The cultural independence and linguistic pluralism sought by the band demonstrate their commitment to global causes in the affirmation of diversity. Musicological-historical reflections from the perspective of cultural studies will complement the ethnographic study
