Turkish women in music may perform in one or more genres of music which are the Turkish folklore music, the Turkish classical music, popular music or Western classical music. Folklore music is the traditional music with Turkish lyrics (see türkü), and also Kurdish.[1] Turkish classical music is actually the continuation of the Ottoman palace music which is also in Turkish. Turkish popular music is similar to western popular music (western melodies with Turkish or original lyrics, new compositions and arranged form of folklore music).
