Homay (ho-MY, Bashkir: Һомай, lit. 'Huma') is a song by the Turkic folk-pop trio Ay Yola from Russia. 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 chart 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]
