Is the "Turku" style of music popular throughout the Turkic people's. I'm always amazed by the sheer number of "Turku's" in Turkey, Azerbaycan, KKTC, Caucauses, Balkans. Turks like to sing these song's, the young and the old, they sing them on special nights or just when friends are together. They have different styles, Oyun Hava-Lively moving to dance to, Aigit-in rememberance or commemeration of loved one's,Uzun Hava- Slow style usually quite emotional,Yoresel-Regional, Dastans-Epics/Legends very old one's etc etc Most Turks I know can recite many many "Turku's". Their a great tradition and its a wonderfull musical culture.
 
What are your favourite "Turku's", what are the oldest one's, where does this style date from, who are really famous Bards?
 
Let's share and learn more about this beautiful art.

'Baghlama' is a Turkish instrument; but similar 'tar's can be found in the Middle East and Central Asia. It's also a common instrument in Iranian culture.

For sure, Iranian one and the Turkish one are not the same; but similar. The same applies to Cenral Asian equivalents. in Eastern Turkic communities, the most difference is for Uighur's instrument which is not completely, but to some extent, a bit more distinct from Turkmen's or Kazak's.

Turk people are very famous for their music's and have been throughout history. Uygur Turks were very advanced in the fields of music, the Kopuz is probobly the root of all lute style instruments. Ancient instruments similar to those used today have been found in old tombs, Kurgan's and Hun graves.
 
Instruments had great importance in Turks societies, as they had developed "Millitary Bands" for the purpose' of moral, phching the troops and intimidating opponents since the time of the Huns, Husoi-Nu's. Also the bards would always have a string typed instrument accompanying them on their travells, this is still very popular today.
 
The Uighur historian Mojizi credits the people of the Dolan region of Xinjiang with creating the first lutes 6000 years ago.
 
 
Baghlama and Tamdra are similar the Baghlama is derived from Tamdra which derives from Kopuz. Dede Gorgut mentions these instruments, there also found in ancient cave paintings in Eastern Turkistan-Altay region. Also There are many types of Baghlama and sizes, I was suprised to see that Uygur Turks playing a Baghlama also played in Turkey. T'chokur,Iklig are other types of this.

Theres also "Turku"/folk-balads which are shared, for example I heard "Nar Agci" in Turkmenistan, Azerbaycan and Turkey.

Tiskindim tiskindim can sesine

Ben sana kurban Hatice

Ayağına başmak yaraşır
Eynine giymek yaraşır

Havar havar can Hatice
Gzleri mercan Hatice
Ben satıa kurban Hatice

Tafta kyneğin lay eyledi

Havar havar can Hatice
Gzleri mercan Hatice
