Folk music from Turkey - Üsküdara by Arany Zoltán

[phas009]

good music :)

[Hunfolker]

Nagyon-nagyon szép! A saz előtt lant szól?

[aranzoltan]

@Hunfolker Nem, ud.

[blancbard]

This song isnt Turkish... It is from Constantinoupolis/Instabul. There are both Greek and Turkish versions of it. /watch?v=Hk19hF-4FXs

[3choBlaster]

@blancbard This song is a Turkish song, it's copied by the Greeks just like songs like Canakkalle etc. The song was written by Turkish girls making fun of the Clerks who had to wear Scottish dresses in honor of a Scottish diplomat visiting (and military band). The Scottish band leader loved Turkish music so much he composed a song that he based on Turkish tunes in honor of the Sultan.

The Tune became popular and Turkish girls made a song for it. Then it spread trough the balkan

[blancbard]

@3choBlaster Can I have your sources please?

[ninbazi]

beautiful song! my family comes from a small christian village south of Turkey....this music unites all the cultures and religions living in Turkey.

[Lionactor]

@kurdtheworstsubhuman I think I said the romans conquered IN THE PAST PARTS OF WHAT IS NOW BUT WAS NOT BACK THEN, TURKEY, WHAT THE ROMANS CONQUERED IN THOSE PARTS WERE PROBABLY JUST SMALL KINGDOMS. AND OBVIOUSLY THEY DID NOT CONQUER YOU TURKS since you probably were not even there in that part of the world yet except maybe as traders. In fact the whole roman conquest thing happened centuries before the turks came into that area as conquerors. And I am not Italian at all! I am Scottish.

[3choBlaster]

@Lionactor The tune for this song was composed by a Scott, visiting the empire.

Hatti we're first, then Hittite, Troyan etc. Greeks and Persian conquered it later Roman/Persian and the Sulcuk Turk, and Ottoman Turk. Anyway .. Anatolia had many lords. But has been Turkiswh for nearly 1000 years now.

I would love to hear some Asian music Dr. Zoltan :D

Very beutifull . respect from hungary!

[ISAZWINA]

j'aime cette chanson... elle me fait penser à mes amis ,à leur pays ,leur culture et o bons moments passes en leur compagnie.ils resteront à jamais ds mon coeur

[AleksFolk1]

this song has a different version in many languages! serbian, greek, macedonian, bulgarian, turkish, there is a video on you tube somewhere about this and how every nation claims it as their own.

[dreacul]

@AleksFolk1 and in fact it`s an egyptian song, it travelled all over ottoman empire

[Davccelion]

@AleksFolk1 , which means that the origins are, perhaps, so remote that nobody really knows where it belongs. Perhaps some of these nations did not even exist as such when it was composed...That is not a shame; that actually means that many nations share quite a lot of things, and we should be glad because of that!

[nidaroon858]

turks and arabs have by far the greatest culture oh yea and also greeks too but nothing else even comes remotely close!

[jalehtri]

Pretty song, do not care about the ethnic origin of it. Ottomans were multicultural. Turkish, Greek, Jewish, Serbian...don't care. Beautiful.

[nidaroon858]

@jalehtri you forgot arabs the largest ethnic group actually

[jalehtri]

@nidaroon858 Sorry, totally forgot. Yeah. Arabs, Persians, Mongolian, too, and Slavic as well :D Mutt power, lol.

[DamirOstojic]

Serbian song !

[Construct78]

@aranzoltan túl kifinomult lett, legalább pár hangot énekelj féle :p

[Construct78]

Szép, de nekem ebben az előadásban nem jön át, hogy ez török. Nem elég gyors, nem elég színes, nem elég giccses, nem elég törökös... mondjuk ez jót tesz neki, csak nekem nem török fíling. :)

[SirHarryJames]

One person is cultureless

[WullopPornruangwong]

So unique, great, green (song about raining, mud & walking) & beautiful music. May all Turk (Ottoman) be healthy, prosperous & happy. Thank you (ขอบคุณครับ - Thank you word in Thai).

[pentogram23]

[sagartzoli]

Ez igen szepen hangzik. Gratula a technikahoz is!

[arabiandevil]

[sneighwena]

@arabiandevil this is a Serbian song - very old and it is called Ruse kose (shiny hair) Shiny hair girl you have, lalala la la la la

[Alexwa13]

Üsküdar'a gider iken aldi da bir yagmur...

[RamonaFromPomona]

Absolutely beautiful

[anatolitissa]

teleioooo

[thespi28]

Isn't it a traditional greek song?

[sneighwena]

@thespi28 no it is a Serbian song

[nolurqitme]

@sneighwena lol

this is turkish folk music

from 19 century

haha

[sneighwena]

@nolurqitme maybe this version is Turkish but the original one is Serbian/Sephardic not Turkish. They copied it, surely.

[nolurqitme]

@sneighwena you make laugh me :)

this music about turkish man in üsküdar

sorry this is orjinal:)

lol

[86BOZKURT86]

@sneighwena

no you faggot this is absolutly the original

and turkish dont claim any bullshit

its from the ottoman time in 19th century

[sneighwena]

@86BOZKURT86 first of all I am not a faggot, second of all this may be from the Ottoman, because look at our 1910 recording still preserved with the same tune, but the original tune is not Turkish. Most probably Sephardic Jewish from South Serbia and towards Greece. Ottomans copied music from around them as they really had no definite style.  Serbian/Ladino versions sound the best, languagewise, lyricswise and musicwise.

[Turkish2023]

@sneighwena

Its a Turkish song. The reason there were jews in Serbia is because Ottoman Empiresaved jews from the Spanish inquisition and settled them around the Empire. Serbia was Ottoman Empire for 600 years. The reason you are still Serb is because Ottomans didnt convert you to Islam or forced u to speak Turkish like English/French colonnists did to Africa. But 600 years of Turkish domination in Serbia has influenced your food, music, clothes.

[sneighwena]

@Turkish2023 The Ottomans did indeed convert Serbs to islam- the Goranis, the Bosnian and Sandzak area muslims. Don't forget - some Pashas were Serbs who never forgot their roots so deals were made to make their lives somewhat easier but still life was toughest for them

[Nightwishmaster9087]

@sneighwena Thank You, sneighwena!

[arasinda]

@sneighwena

Hi, you will find another ladino origin song by Arasinda Turkish Folk Music Group's chanell

[yohumlan]

a folk song from turkey- Ah bir ataş ver

watch#!v=-zIF2Et2fOs&feature=r­elated

would you sing this song?

[Koszosmarci]

testvérnép, még a zene is...csak citera helyett szitárral nyomják itt pl.

[HHCCO]

szereklet magxyarorzag

[xgazette]

hú, de jó :) Csak nekem olyan, mint a Tavaszi szél vizet áraszt? :D

[JagaMaga]

I love this melody :]] It's arguable where it comes from, though. There's a whole movie based on it - "Whose is this song", To me, it sounds kind of Arabic, so I would say it's not even from the Balkans :]

[makedonce999994ever]

its a turkish song!! turks are arabs!

[DragovianMythiX]

no man, you're wrong. We're not Arabs, of course there are some Turks who have mixed with Arabs. But Arabs and Turks are different (good example is our history). Turks originated from Central Asia, Arabs did not. Read first before you make such comments!!

[Gwynsek]

@DragovianMythiX Yes,from what I´ve read, theTurkish are a wonderful mix of Altaic,Hitites(indo-europeans) and some European peoples(don´t forget also the Celtic galatas tribes).Of course,as you said,there are some Arab genes there but the ethnic melting pot is amazing and the people resulting from it is really beautiful !

[DragovianMythiX]

@Gwynsek

of course we cannot be 100% sure about history, but as you said, we are a big mix of many backgrounds, maybe even more than that you mentioned. I really don't like to brag, but check the Turkish people out: from Asian looking to European and Middle Eastern. nice song by the way! i forgot to say that 3/4 months ago lol

[Gwynsek]

@DragovianMythiX Wow,this is wonderful,I guess you meant to digit the title on youtube to search for a video,ok I will.I Hungarian friend of mine,who is mostly Szekler in his genes,said this group of Hungarians is of Turkish origin itself !

[mozhus123]

@DragovianMythiX both are similar however in some respects (more so than for example British or Hindustani people)...for example, most Turks and Arabs are Muslims, the 'early Arab and Turks' were initially nomadic and both adopt a culture of hospitality and most of the time...tolerance.

[DragovianMythiX]

@mozhus123

of course there are similarities. However, the "core" is different.

We may share food, cloths, music and so on. The point is, the early Turks (e.g. Göktürks) had nothing to do with Arabs, that is before Islam reached Central Asia. you make it sound as if a South American Christian is related to a Scandinavian Christian, just because of religion. in the end, all people are nothing more than a "standard" product with labels (christian, muslim, leftist, jewishEtc) attached to them >.<

[mozhus123]

@DragovianMythiX what one refers to as the 'core' is a matter of opinion...whether it's ethnicity or culture. And i hope the 'standard' product you are referring to is 'human beings' not turks or arabs...which are also labels based on geographical and cultural ideals (that change with time!). It is race that cannot change but even that does ie. if asians live in different region their skin colour changes accordingly. I'm not an Arab or Turk but I like to concentrate on similarities.

[mozhus123]

@DragovianMythiX it is these similarities that should remain important as feelings of superiority and nationalism when in comes to foreign relations are always damaging (i think there's nothing wrong with affiliating oneself with their own country and aspiring for it to be better...ie nationalism for the country's sake, not to belittle others). I hope u understand where i am coming from :)

[Lionactor]

@DragovianMythiX Not only from Central Asia but also a bit of Roman ancestry in it. Let's not forget the Romans conquered parts of turkey and eventually became the Eastern Roman Empire before it became called in later times the Byzantine Empire.

[yamtartheturk]

@Lionactor let me correct u mate. first we the turks conquered the parts of byzantine empires and make anatolia turk and then byzantium fell.and i am not mixed %100 turk:)

[Lionactor]

@yamtartheturk I just mean that before you turks conquered anatolia it was the romans who controlled it. Then when the Roman empire was divided in two it became the Eastern Roman Empire which was later called the Byzantine Empire with Constantinople as it's Capital until it fell in 1453. So like it or not some of you turks, if not most of you, may very well have Roman ancestors or people who lived under Roman Rule.

[Lionactor]

@yamtartheturk And before the Romans conquered Anatolia, it was under the control of the Hattians, Akkadians, Assyrians and Hittites. Then it was also part of the Persian empire (I don't know if that was the precursor of the Ottoman empire though), Alexander the Great of Macedon conquered it. And if I am not mistaken there were Greek states at the very least on west coast of Turkey too. So generally that gives all of you turks quite an interesting ancestry.

[11u21]

It sounds like "Rasputin" by Boney M. in late 70s

[srkizip]

@11u21 yea men

[mail2onur]

@11u21

Yeah cuz Boney M stole the melody from this song. This song is at least 120 years old.

[1234invierno4321]
