Tuhaf is a Danish/Turkish Rock band from Copenhagen fronted by charismatic Turkish born singer Berrin Bas. This coming September, Tuhaf will release its debut album “Mere Guld” (‘More Gold’ in Danish’) and this past June, the album title track was released as the first single. Today sees the release of the second single “Hafla” alongside a video which in the spirit of the single (‘Hafla’ means ‘feast’ or ‘celebration’ in Arabic) is a homage to the individual and differences that gives individuals their uniqueness.
Berrin states about the new single: “‘Hafla’ is about celebrating oneself. It is dedicated to Bipocs (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) and everybody can join the party.“

The fusion of different types of musicians and all kinds of genres – Anatolian Folk, Indie Rock, Free Jazz, Danish traditional songs and US Roots Rock – wondrously merges into the sound of Tuhaf. The band released its first EP “Gölgeden” in 2019 and has since then played many shows around Denmark, Scandinavia and Turkey. Now, the band is ready with its debut album “Mere Guld” set for a September 2nd 2022 release.
Even though Tuhaf’s lyrics are and will remain poetry of love, it is not shiny happy songs about falling in love which the band excels in. Rather it is the breach, the sorrow, the conflict and profound longing that forms the subject matter. On the debut album, one hears about deceit among friends, lost love, abuse, mental distress, psychic vulnerability, abortion and even about an intern conflict in the band.
