BARTU KÜÇÜKÇAĞLAYAN: YOUR VOICE AND WORDS ARE TRUSTED TO US

Actor and Büyük Ev Ablukada group's vocalist Bartu Küçükçağlayan said, "Irfan brother… The last time I saw you, you came out of the sea and hugged me. I said, 'Oh, brother, how nice, you are cool and wet.' You praised my defensive design again on the spot. You said, 'We need to tell each other these things,' and 'We need to talk about not only the good things we do but also the bad ones.' I always encountered you, brother; you always talked to me, you never held back your voice and words.

The night I first heard your voice in a song, I was so unhappy that I was punching the floor. From now on, I am taking some of the words you would choose in the songs you won't be able to write, brother. I know you will allow this. I hope I can meet people who write real songs like you again. Because you touched many people. As you wrote, every era has its own world, brother. I love you very much. I'm glad we met. Your voice and words are entrusted to us. I will not lose you, İrfan brother," he bid farewell to Alış.
