Muamma hails from the vibrant streets of both Turkey and The Netherlands, our band plays a dynamic fusion of traditional and contemporary sounds, transcending borders and captivating audiences.

In the summer of 2021 Muamma was formed. Several rehearsals took place in the run-up to our  first performance at the Cutting Edge Festival in The Hague. The musicians discovered that even though it was their first time in this formation, it felt like they had known each other for a long time, both musically and personally. Quite mysterious actually, so Muamma, meaning mystery or enigma, became the name of the band.

With an ensemble featuring drums, bass, saz, percussion, clarinet, saxophone, and keyboards, we like to craft a mesmerising tapestry of melodies that resonate with the soul. Drawing inspiration from the rich source of Turkish folk songs, we infuse our music with authenticity and passion, breathing new life into age-old tunes.

Muamma's debut album ‘Dereboyu Kavaklar’ was released in November 2025
