Turkish Pop

Turkish Pop is a vibrant fusion of Western pop sensibilities and traditional Turkish music, characterized by catchy melodies, rich vocal performances, and a diverse instrumentation that often includes traditional instruments like the bağlama and darbuka. Emerging in the late 20th century, it gained momentum through the works of iconic artists like Sezen Aksu and Tarkan, blending elements of folk, rock, and electronic music. With its rhythmic diversity and emotive lyricism, Turkish Pop continues to captivate audiences both domestically and internationally.
