Turkish Folk music

[TurkishWomens]

Dil Türkçe Daha neyin tartışması bu ya ? language is Turkish. Turkish folk songs that!!

[PrensHaru]

Turkmen.

[ezber1]

The Europeans share the same instruments too but they never fight about to which people "the guitar" belongs. Each part of the world share similar music and instruments. It is normal. For example there is the "latino" world with the same music and the "orient" world with similar music. So in the end it is meaningless that turks, kurds and persians argue about music.

[ezber1]

This is a famous turkish folk song. Kurds are a part of Turkey, so it is normal kurdish music sounds like turkish. One should not forget that kurds mainly use turkish instruments in their music, such as the baglama. But it is kind of wrong to say this or that instrument is "turkish(anatolian)", "kurdish" or "arabic", since we share the same instruments and we have all played them for thousand of years.

[sametturkmen87]

Böylesine boktan bir şarkıyla temsil edilmek iğrenç olurdu herhalde. Tam kürtlere laik bir şarkı olmuş.

[blacksteen]

It is not about religion, it is not about anything, this is just PURE ART OF MUSIC. Just came back from Marmaris and love arabic music. I am Polish and please stop racism directed towards any nation, enjoy the music.

[DutchTurkish]

@blacksteen

Arabic music in Marmaris??? We you mean that Turks are Arabs? or is there a misinterpretation?

Well you have been to Marmaris and still think that Turks are Arabs? Turks aren't Arabic, Turks are Turkish and play Turkish music. Arabs are Arabic and play Arabic music. I have nothing against Arabs, but we are not Arabs. THANK YOU.

[MBloodline6]

I 'm a person that live in Zimbambe. And I 'm two years old. And I loved this song, yeeey !!

[VTSPQR]

I love how the music (very beautiful) and the video footage work together. <3 

[vitaliwths]

Greeting from Greece!nice music

[ergunayral91]

Guys try Can Atilla not folk but I bet you'll love it !

[starspangledpants]

Turkey is so cool. What's a Kurd? I bet they're cool too if they play this sort of awesome stuff. Love, America (-:

[WyvernhailQueen]

Everyone shut up about the Kurdish people! Not a single group of people has all good people or all bad people! Think about that! Most importantly, sit back and enjoy the music and STOP HATING EACH OTHER!! To all the Turkish people on here fighting with the Kurdish people in a rude manner, I'm ashamed to be related to you guys. I judge a person by there character, not by their blood!

[GRINGOBLA]

TURK FOLK MUSİC.

[Dogu87es]

kespec senin sopun belli olmayabilir ama bu ensturumanın ki bellidir!

şarkının da kökü belli alevi türküsüdür adı bile türkü öküzzz...

[kespec]

ne zamadan beri kürt şarkıları türkçe söylenmeye başladı itin dölü, başkalarının kültürünü çalacağınıza kendi kültürünüzü yaratın gavur devşirmeleri

[FreshPrinceAzizi]

@kespec .. ne zamandin beri saz ve bu türkü, kürt külturundendir? kim kimin kültürünu caliyor? neyse niyetimizi bozmiyalim, türk kürt kardestir..

[kespec]

@FreshPrinceAzizi

kes lan önce türkçe öğren

[FreshPrinceAzizi]

@kespec .. yazdigim sozlerde hangi yanlisi buldunda turkce ogren diyorsun embesil cocuk.. avrupada dogup buyudugu icin sînîrlî turkcesi olan bir ki$i olabilirim, ama hic degilse senin gibi embesilce yorum yapan biri degilim .. o ''lan'' lafi da sana girsin ..

[kespec]

@FreshPrinceAzizi

bak arkadaşım burda bana avrupalıyım muhabbeti yapma, toplumsal & etnik sorunlara ineceksen ilk önce bu argümanlara uygun bir Türkçe hakimiyetine sahip olacaksın. yoksa siktir git dediğinden bir şey anlaşılmıyor

tek anladığım senin bir milliyetçi kürt öküzü olduğun, ve utanmadan Türkiye Türkünün, "kürt kültürünü" çaldığını iddia edebilecek kadar yaban hayvanı olduğundur. Ülkenin anasını sikip avrupaya kaçtınız şimdi de orda millete Türküm deyip de, Türkiye'nin imajını sik...

[kespec]

@FreshPrinceAzizi

ekşi sözlük özentisi yaban öküzü oralarda takılmakla aydın olunmuyor, avrupa'dayım demekle adam olunmuyor. kürtlerin kültür çaldığı açık seçik ortada arayan bulur ama kimse dile getiremez çünkü getirirsen ırkçı olursun.

uzak durun şu ülkeden siktirin gidin danirmakalarda yaşayın daha temiz oluyor buraları, cahil öküz sürüsünü görmeyince daha güzel uyanıyorum güne.

[Morningstaric]

@kespec Sonuna kadar haklısın ama nefretle bir yere varamayız.

[Tengri89]

@kespec Siz ikinizde kafayımı yediniz . Yorumları okudum gülesim geldi ! Herkes aynı şeyi savunuyor ama tartışıyorsunuz .

[Tengri89]

@FreshPrinceAzizi üsttü oku

[Morningstaric]

@kespec Kürt soyu nerden gelmiş kültürü neye dayanır bana bir anlat gözünü seveyim. Türklerden niye nefret ediyorsun bana bunu anlat. Yıllarca Osmanlının Türkiyenin ekmeğini yediniz Türk vatandaşından farklı muamele görmediniz nedir derdiniz? Türk milleti şevkatlidir duyguludur. İspanya gibi Fransa gibi Amerika gibi Sırplar gibi olmadığmız için Kürt halkını bağrımıza basımışız kardeşimiz gibi görmüşüz dilimiz kültürümüz bile ayrışmaz olmuş. Bizde bilirdik bu saydığım ülkeler gibi soykırımyapmayı

[smyle0123]

Excelent song , çok güzel sarki , muhtesem sarkiçi !!

[petra102]

i dont understand a word from this, but the music is just wonderful

[spotlight33]

These kinds of musics are the culture of the members of a religious group that reveres Ali.The instruments and the lyrics are Turkish.Their prayers,poems are all Turkish.This is not a music of Kurdish and Sunnis

[odi27]

@spotlight33 you might want to do some more research on this type of music, and look the name (Mar Ephrem the syrian )should help you out. you will learn where your music came from. :)

[plop888]

All over the workd there were exchanges. This discussion is not completely serious and honest. I like Halk Music

[ercheksargo]

The vid + music = A1

[ThePhilosorpheus]

impressive, they actually allow women to sing there

[bilgentolis]

@ThePhilosorpheus women can sing here without any problems :)

[ercheksargo]

@ThePhilosorpheus

Yeah, and they don't have to wear stuff on their heads, wearing T-shirts, jeans or dress, and pretty sharp girls too. You can talk to them and they look you straight in the eye.

[Turkish2023]

@ThePhilosorpheus

Impressive, that you actually think we dont allow our women to sing. Turkish women had even earlier rights to vote than some European countries like Belgium thanks to Ataturk's reforms.

[ThePhilosorpheus]

@Turkish2023 I dont know about the reforms, I just read some of Bartok´s essays on turkish folk music and according to his researches, women weren´t allowed to sing, men considered it "not right" for a woman to sing. he wrote it in the first half of the last century I dont know much about modern turkey. I also don´t know why the hell should turkey enter the european union.

[Turkish2023]

@ThePhilosorpheus

I dont know who thus Bartok guy is but be rational, what happened in first half of the last century is not relevant in 2010. If Turkish women had more rights and got the right to vote earlier then some European countries, I dont see why they shouldt had the right to sing.

[Aiolosz]

@Turkish2023 Bartók is a famous hungarian man. google is your friend.

[sspersian]

instruments persian,clothes kurdish .i wonder turk if have any music,!!!!1

[Thegulugulu33]

@sspersian "tanbur" is a different instrument than "bağlama".I'm sure because we play both tanbur and bağlama here.Bağlama belongs to Turkish Turkmen (especially Alevi one's) people.Bağlama is played also in Iran because There is 30 million Turkish living in Iran today.Clothes are not traditional here.

[devanizmo]

@sspersian

What Persian music from Mongolia? Please bitch we've had this music since we were fighting China under the Gokturk flag.

[sorrypapawxz]

The instrument he is playing, that looks like a guitarr is actually from persians. The persians created it probely during Sassanid era. In persian we call it "Tanbur".

[YiannisThiakos]

Song is nice, please upload in a better quality if possisble!

[Lokum1923]

[username14657]

This is so beautiful! Greetings from America!

What is the name of this song?

[lavinder11]

It's called Yarali Ceylan by Arzu off the album Ceylanim. It's at the beginning and end of the vid, but don't worry, I had trouble figuring that out as well. Effin beautiful

[justnobody5192]

beautifull :D

[acerb45666555]

[turkcukizi]

safkan Türk halk müziği bu, kürt mürt diyenlerin kulaklarını temizlemek lazım. şimdi de Türkülerimizi mi çalmaya kalkıyorsunuz lan?? bu alevi-bektaşi türküsüdür, yani Türk!

[vrietmet]

[Dogu87es]

Turk folk music

[exerg101]

+ cimbal "istambul'' in coda...or "zildjian"///

[kuruvaziyer]

It is Turkish bektashi folk song.

[shahrukhsezer]

tam mal lan where is that kurdish ??? maybe arzu the bitch is kurdish but the language and the song ist 100 % turkish

[ImAllergicToStupids]

Many times cultures mix in many ways and then it is very difficult to distinguish whose culture is whose. I dont care where this came from. It came from over in that region and I say fuck whatever possessed those morons to argue about who is better. You want to know the truth? Humans are not worthy of this planet and we are all horrible. So when the aliens come here dont expect to get a fruit basket. I would expect war to break out. Fuck us humans and our ridiculous quarrels.

[nezir1995nezir]

don't confuse Kurdish with Turkish!!!!

[aslihan567]

can u people please stop arguing about nothing? no one's culture is better than another's just because one uses wood and the other uses sheep guts. perhaps one is the more ingenious for making use of something in a less obvious way than the wood or metal. anyway, no culture is better than another in any way other than how humanely it treats human life. and in that respect we are all pretty equal, so SHUTUP!

[PrinceTheRipperBel7]

Why, oh why have this ridiculous argument about national origins when you have a beautiful piece of music playing? Are you people deaf? FUCK nationalism. Enjoy life already. m

[gloomyoutlook]

Yeah, I really think this should be called Anatolian folk music, not Turkish. The saz isn't even a Turkish instrument.

[jelijeli1905]

It is TURKISH!! Cappito!

[kespec]

lots of laugh! what? isnt saz a turkish instrument?

baglama or saz, is a member of traditional stringed instruments which is the main instrument of all turkic folk music

here the family of central asian string-instruments:

baglama turkish

kopuz turkish

saz turkish

tar azerbaijani turk

dombra kazakhtar turk

bağlama is the most developed member of this family.

please do not state things you dont know anything about it..

[gloomyoutlook]

Yeah? It's also related to a range of Iranian instruments, the tar being one of them. Like I said before, I'm not stating it belongs to any specific culture, thus I am against the assertion that it is Turkish. It's the synthesis of many different instruments belonging to many different cultural groups, and it developed in Anatolia not at the hands of the Turks alone, otherwise they'd be playing it in Central Asia, from whence the Turks came.

[kespec]

you know nothing about history of saz&tar and happen to act the cool guy who knows everything...

calling saz is not turkish shows your ignorance.. still behind your misleading information..

saz is a developed version of dombra which is played asia; kazakhstan, nogay ethnics and ozbekistan

tar is not an iranian instrument infact its azerbaijani

saz is literally known as baglama is a turkic word, cool isnt it?

there is no sign of kurdish culture recorded before 19th century..

[gloomyoutlook]

You are a fool of the highest calibre. Kurdish history and culture has been documented and recorded since the first millenium B.C. We can discuss that later, if you wish, because you seem to be completely ignorant of those facts.

The tar is not Azerbaijani, it is Iranian. Azeri culture is "Turkic" built on an Iranian stratum. The Azeri people are genetically Iranian, this is also a documented fact. The only thing Turkic about them is their language, which still contains a high Persian influence

[kespec]

there is nothing to discuss.. 5000 years of existence and no sign of own civilization.. i just laugh at that

and do not generalize, this reveals your ignorance.. i am not a descendant of so-called anatolian people cuz i am a turkman

you live in your own world dude and dont wait for any further reply you have proven your worthiness

[gloomyoutlook]

Just because you don't KNOW, doesn't mean it doesn't EXIST. You're a fucking fool, you and your countrymen. You, the descendant of barbaric nomads who lived off the back of horses and stole the culture and civilisation of the people they pillaged and conquered, tell me that the Hurrians, the Medes, and our glorious Aryan heritage amount to nothing, but your horse milking Asian brethren who appropriated Arabic, Kurdish, Greek and Persian cultures do? Don't make me fucking laugh.

[kespec]

lol really i was waiting for you to write its a traditional kurdish instrument

really dude get your facts straight

kurdish music: imitation of anatolian-turkish music which is called TURKU, you see even its name is TURK how you claim its not turkish? rofl

[gloomyoutlook]

Yeah, that kinda doesn't mean anything dude, haha. I'd like you to go to Central Asia and find me anything similar to the music of Anatolia, or indeed an instrument similar to the saz.

It's called turku because that's what Turks call it. Notice how neither Kurds, Greeks nor Armenians use that word, yet have similar music, and are indigenous cultures? D'you notice that? Funny, right?

This is Anatolian music because it is common to all the cultures of Anatolia, Turks included.

[gloomyoutlook]

oh, and I forgot to mention... the girl singing this song is Arzu Sahin, who happens to be Kurdish! ahaha

It's a Kurdish song translated to Turkish to appeal to a wider audience, it's very simple. But I maintain that it is an Anatolian style song, and not just Kurdish or Turkish.

[kespec]

as i stated kurdish musical culture is obvious imitation of turkish folk music, you cant simply deny it.

kurds loaned it, wrapped it, and sold it back to its original owners.

as the dominant culture has been turkish(with contrubitons of persian,arabic and french culture) appx thousand years over anatolia your statement remains 'unconvincing'..

and i cant really believe it how you defend your 'information', at least go check google.. and see what the heck baglama is and come from.

[gloomyoutlook]

Show me proof that Kurdish culture is an "imitation" of Turkish culture. Turkic culture of Central Asia is nothing like Turkish culture of Anatolia. This is because not only is Turkish culture an amalgamation of native Anatolian cultures, but modern Turkish people are descendants of native Anatolians, with a very small interspersion of Turkic blood. A few hundred thousand Turks invaded Anatolia, when it was populated by millions.

[turkcukizi]

we are not a imitation of kurds, because we have the saz, and look to central-asia like türkmenistan ore somtehing and oure music is the same! YOU LİE! the kurds learn the saz from the Turks!

[Sellos23]

Saz is a Turkish instrument even played in Turks in Central Asia. ahah what does the Kurds have? please.

[KurdoFighter]

@Sellos23 No it isn't Saz is just a smaller version of tanbour and tanbour is another model from panbur, an instrument from hurrians, which existed long before the word "turk" came up.

[NinaBella93]

@Sellos23 YOUR LAND! HA!

[RealHumanist]

@Sellos23 The Kurds? Who you talking about particularly? Seems like your the one who expert, so please teach us about Turkish and Kurdish civilizations! oh yes please

[kespec]

and we are talkin about the instrument's origin; not how its used in diffrent cultures..

i dont understand why you deny the fact that saz is actually a synthesis of centiral asian turkic instruments..

its a fact , all your harmony of cultures bullcrap doesnt change this fact..

and accept it your so called culture relies on a turkish instrument.

stating misleading information like its a fact :

'its not even turkish'

without citing any references

is just a mark of lack of knowledge

[gloomyoutlook]

My "harmony of cultures bullcrap" is the most accurate, and accepted explanation for the evolution of the Saz. The Saz neither looks nor sounds like any Central Asian, horse hair and sheep gut bullshit instrument you seem to be comparing it to. It evolved as a result of the synthesis of different instruments used by different cultures. It's not a Turkic instrument, just as any scientific Latin neologism isn't a Roman invention. You don't know your shit mate, you proved that.

[kespec]

you re citing your own 'knowledge' as reference to justify your statement.. i do not care for possiblities, there is a written history that tells the origin of baglama, go read kasgarlı mahmut's writings and his records for further information..

i do not have time to enlight ignorants such as you, grow some brain and before calling someone ignorant, you should disclaim him with 'valuable' refrences.

about myth of kurdish culture with 5000 years of evolution thing, i just laugh..

[gloomyoutlook]

I don't give two fucks about gotu boklu mahmut's writings and records.

Turkish fascist propaganda doesn't fool me. You people were raised to believe the Hittites were a Turkish culture, ahahaha.

[gloomyoutlook]

The only myth is the myth of Turkish culture. Turkish culture is nomads living in yurts made of animal skins. Everything in Turkey now is a result of the appropriation of Greek and Middle Eastern cultures. Turks HAVE NO CULTURE of their own.

[semihispanya]

it is original turkish music of anatolian people

[007Poseidon]

dont be angry to atatürk if you can be his half...

[Ruka22ed]

someone can help me?

i wanna learn turkish

[havasuatesh]

Latin Writing and Reading Unites Turkic People...Turks Not Arab..Sorry No Offense..

[nitro0088]

i love the melody :)!!! THATS TURKEY TURKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY BEST OF!!!

[TrustInIslam]

I would be able to read the lyrics to this Turkish song with Arabic letters, if it weren't for Mustafa Kemal...

[eniser]

But you are using latin alphabet , Why ? Brother , Turkish language have 28 difrent voices.. And Arabic alphabeth is not enough for this.Our language dont have "long vowel" .. But arabic have.Our language dont have "back unvoiced" .. But arabic have.. Then my people were not knowing to write.They were reading.. But they could not write before Ataturk !

[TrustInIslam]

It would have easier for them to just learn to write the words they were speaking, rather than being taught an entirely new alphabet.

[eniser]

In my Country , A lot of children start to learn arabic alphabet when they were 7 years old.On the other hand , Kuran is arabic.We need to learn if we want to read :) But it doesnt mean "we must write with arabic".. It doesnt mean "we must use arabic alphabet in turkish language" :)

[TrustInIslam]

Exactly, what was the point in changing the national alphabet from Arabic letters to something else, when everyone was Muslim? Don't answer that, it's a rhetorical question bro.

[greceanu]

Because round about ten percent actually understood the ottoman turkish. Atatürk gave turkey a better alfabet. Arabic script is useless to write Turkish

[TrustInIslam]

Ataturk also destroyed the last bit of the Islamic Caliphite. Dwell on that.

[shirinbonusha]

can somebody who speaks turkish write down the lyrics of this song using English alphabet, please? I will be very thankful

[m98m99]

- yarali ceylanim senden baskasina gonul vermem , elin besledigi gulden al bu canimi sana dermem .

- yandi yurek yana yana , savur kulum done done , sogumadan elde kina zulfun telin yere sermem .

- amman yare amman yare ,hey pir (ali )ver bu derde care .

bir ok dustu yaralandim , dost elinden parelendim , dar gunumde karalandim , dil lal olur seni yermem .

and so on .......
