Türk Halk Müziği (Türkü)

Türk Halk Müziği, or Turkish Folk Music, is the traditional music of the Anatolian people. It encompasses a vast array of regional styles, rhythms (aksak), and modal structures (makam). It is deeply rooted in oral tradition, often featuring the bağlama (saz) as the primary melodic instrument, and reflects the social, historical, and spiritual life of the Turkish people.
