Despite their huge success, many people are not familiar with them only because they haven't surrendered themselves to popular music culture. Besides being an album band, Ayna promotes themselves as a concert band. Meanwhile, Ayna have worked with more than twenty musicians, for which they have had only one condition, which is to maintain their great friendships in their private lives.[2]
