Homay (ho-MY, Bashkir: Һомай, lit. 'Huma') is a song by the Russian folk-pop trio Ay Yola. The Bashkir-language song was released on March 14, 2025.
The song combines ancient folklore and electronic music, and has gone viral internationally, particularly in Turkic-speaking countries, where it was among the top-charting tracks on TikTok and Shazam.[1][2][3]
The song speaks about the Huma bird, a mythological character in the legend of Ural-batyr. She is the daughter of Samrau, the ruler of birds and the Sun. Huma is depicted as a keeper of sacred knowledge and the symbol of wisdom and light. The song creates a parallel between Huma and modern Bashkir women, outlining cultural succession and identity.[4][5]
