Türküola was the first record company to produce Turkish music in Germany.

In addition to long-playing records, cassettes and later CDs by well-known Turkish artists such as Barış Manço , İbrahim Tatlıses , Edibe Sulari , Zeki Müren and the Armenian and Assyrian-born Coşkun Sabah , Asöcal also produced numerous migrant workers from the 1960s who only began a musical career in Germany . This group also included the record company's two best-selling artists - Metin Türköz and Yüksel Özkasap , who also became famous in Turkey. Especially Yüksel Özkasap, later the wife of the Türküola founder, was able to celebrate extraordinary successes ( gold records ) as the “Nightingale of Cologne” by the German public, largely unnoticed by the German public within the Turkish immigrant group in Germany .
Today Türküola produces a number of Turkish musicians, mainly traditional Turkish music styles.
