Özet: With the labor migration to Germany that started in 1961, many people went to work in this country. After a certain time, they faced the difficulties of living in a culture and geography that did not belong to them, with a different language, religion, and food. In the early days, they barely met most of their needs. All of the immigrant groups had left their relatives, memories, and homelands behind and stepped into a new life. In other words, all individuals in the first immigrant groups had a union of destiny. Even there are exceptions, this trauma at least made it possible for immigrants to stay together against their differences for quite a long time. Therefore, the success of any person in immigrant communities, even if their beliefs or opinions differed, was generally owned by the whole community regardless of this situation. A music group that emerged from among the migrant workers also created a psychosocial support point for other immigrants. The subject of this article is the view of the immigrant community to this music group and its music with the adventure of a two-person music group that emerged from the immigrants who settled in Germany with the labor migration that started in the 1960s, which was founded in 1973 and dissolved in 1986. The basic data of the study are Austria, where I lived in 1989-90, and the Netherlands, Belgium, etc., where I went from time to time, especially Germany until before the pandemic. Observations on most first, second and third generation immigrants living in countries, fieldwork notes I have made in Austria, Switzerland, Germany on the subject, interviews and readings about the sociological isolation resulting from immigration.
