History
In 1985, 4 friends at Marmara Üniversitesi formed Grup Yorum. The group composition has been in a constant state of change since the group's inception, and throughout history Grup Yorum has experienced political oppression. Group members have been arrested many times, and countless trials (approximately 400) have been opened for the members. Their albums have been seized by police and their concerts banned, but despite this Grup Yorum has been one of the top selling groups in the history of Turkey. The band was inspired by Inti-Illimani in early 1980s and socialist movements in Turkey and abroad.
