Folk songs not only express the feelings
and thoughts of the people, but also keep
historical events alive. Among the
Turkish people, "Algerian Folk Song" is
as common and famous lament as
Yemen, Estegon, Baghdad, Rumelia folk
songs about historical events from the
Ottoman period.
"Algerian Folk Song" is performed in
Turkish wedding ceremonies in a wide
geography such as Southern, Eastern,
Central, Central and Western Anatolia,
as a spoken or unspoken melody folk
song and accompanied by dance or play
even today. Apart from whether there is
a connection between historical facts and
cultural facts, the relationship between
the context in which the folk song was
burned and sung and the current context
of performance can be examined.
