The Songs of The Turkish Cypriots- DILLIRGA

DILLIRGA

It is clear that Cyprus Turkish Folk Music is under the influence of Anatolian folk music although it developed its local characteristics as well. Most of the folk songs were known orally since the collecting and documenting this kind of information was delayed due to the unorganized life of the Turkish Cypriots until 1974 under the impact of their political struggle for survival.

Editing of Turkish folk music has begun in 1973 and they were recorded in musical notes. The research for the discovery of the unforgotten folk songs are still going on. The Turkish Folk Music group established by the government and others by private institutions are contributing to the activities of Turkish Folk Music actively today. Has-Der which is an Association of Folk Arts is rather active in collecting and editing Cypriot Folk music and dances as well as some other cultural and anthropological aspects of Cyprus.

This song being typical of all ethnic groups in Cyprus, should tell us all that it is a Cypriot song and not distinctively Turkish or Greek. May Greece and Turkey stop patronizing Cypriot minds. Cyprus is too small to be divided into plots.

There's also more than just anatolian influences in this music as some Turks would prefer to highlight. Strong Greek and Italian roots exist in Cypriot music and that's obvious from those countries' folk music and their enduring cultural legacy on the island

Our people are all brothers, culturally and metaphysically, but politics drives us into hateful division

@erol1982 you know this...... the "brotherhood" is all about religion, not about the real truth, not about your and my DNA.........

Somewhere in the past your fathers became Muslims to have a better life... this is how you became Turkish and you know this, deep inside you all know the truth

It's all about religions in this damn world

@petcalledros Why you people obsessed about TURKISH or GREEK ? We shared the same culture for about 430 years! We are all Cypriots dont split things to turkish or greek ...

Anyone who has any knowlwdge of Cyprus will see the influence of a uniquely cypriot culture in this song - both Turkish and Greek! Let's celebrate that and stop posting ill informed and ignorant comments.

I have two cypriot friends. One is greek-cypriot and one is turkish-cypriot.

I haven't been to Cyprus yet, but I heard about that land's problem and people...

I'm korean (south). and Korea is also separated since 1948. and after the war (Kore savaşı 1950-1953) North and south korean no longer visit or see other side. So I understand that tragic! I hope turkish and greek in cyprus live together with love and peace... My nation have no hope to unify now, but you two can do that, I believe! :)

sen kafana göre ırk yaratmışsın bile.Keşke birine inanarak değil okuyarak öğrensen.İstanbullu türk,ankaralı türk,adanalı türk,kerküklü türk,azeri türk, türk değilmi?.Sen ingiterede doğunca ingiliz türkmü oluyorsun?yoksa ingilteredeki türkmü oluyorsun?Bu zorlama zekaların lafına kanma.Türksen türksün değilsen değil.Rum'ada türk diyecek halimiz yok.Diyebilirsinki biraz kız alıp verme olmuştur,bu olabilir.ama o zamanda kırmasın demekki.Maalesef local ırkçılık kktc solunun kanında var.
