Folk music is a very important aspect of nations' culture. Folk music reflects its nation's character so for a nation and its culture is understood, its traditional music should be analysed deeply.
The Turkish has a rich music culture, it is called "Türkü". For centuries, Turkish nation has expressed themselves in Türküs. They has expressed their joys, sorrows,loves, longings and many other things in Türküs. Turkish people have composed türküs for many things. Here are some verses of a türkü in which a man who got a leathel disease while doing his military service and who is left by his financee is told :
"Hastane önünde incir ağacı
Doktor bulamadı bana ilacı
Baş tabip geliyor zehirden acı
Garip kaldım yüreğime dert oldu
Ellerin vatanı bana yurt oldu"
Unfortunately, lately Türküs have lost their popularity due to the influence of western music. They are listened by very few people. However good things start to happen. For example, in "Kurtlar Vadisi", a very popular TV series, türküs are used. This is a good thing for the return of türküs.
