BAHR is a Turkish indie folk band, formed in Istanbul in 2016. Starting with singer-songwriter Yusuf Bahar and drummer-percussionist Nihal Saruhanlı, the band gained its final form when bass player Ceren Bettemir joined the band in 2019. The same year BAHR won the “21st Battle of the Bands” music contest which was organized by Radyo Boğaziçi. Following its success, BAHR released their debut EP I Resist along with the music video for Those Streets [4] from the same EP, in June 2020, Dokuz Sekiz Müzik label. Inspired by western folk music and oriental culture, songs of BAHR bear the traces of 90's rock music.
