Özet
Music is an inseparable part of the Gypsy life. Gypsy communities in Turkey, especially in the Marmara and Aegean regions, have preserved their unique musical culture while integrating it with regional music. Known as “Gypsy music” or “Romani music,” this genre blends with local styles like “karşılama” and “zeybek.” Despite this, the term “Gypsy music” is not widely accepted in Turkey. Gypsies have enriched regional music by adapting it to their own musical perception. This study highlights the complex interaction between Gypsy music and Turkish music, emphasizing its universal influence. Gypsy musicians innovate by blending traditional sounds with contemporary influences, particularly in modern Turkish genres like pop and electronic music. The research also reveals the significant role of Gypsy music in fostering social cohesion. Digital platforms accelerate the evolution and dissemination of Gypsy music, allowing access to global music scenes. Additionally, the study examines educational pathways for passing down musical skills and traditions through generations. This study demonstrates that Gypsy music is not a static tradition but a living and evolving art form. It serves as a vital tool for cultural expression, identity formation, and social interaction.
