Turkish Folk Music is a deeply rooted and diverse genre that reflects the cultural and regional heritage of Turkey. It blends traditional melodies with modern elements, often featuring emotional vocals and rich instrumentation, including bağlama (saz), oud, and various percussion. Characterized by its poetic lyrics and heartfelt themes of love, nature, and daily life, the genre varies from melancholic ballads to rhythmic folk dances. Artists like İsmet Yazar and Sevim Çağlayan embody its expressive vocal style, while others incorporate subtle electronic or orchestral elements, creating a timeless yet evolving sound.
