BEST TURKISH TAVERN SONGS

As Turkish people we generally like drinking rakı, but not all of us can drink it. Even if you’re drinking rakı or not you kinda obey some rules or the better saying some procedures at the “rakı table”.

First there has to be music at the place (kinda must) can be live, can be just murmurings or with using technological devices as well.

There are some great songs always listened by raki-drinkers for years, can called as “official raki songs”. Also they can be called as “Turkish tavern songs”, “Turkish sadden songs” or whatever you like to call. Listen and decide as what you feel.

In this playlist you’ll listen some important Turkish voices singing beautiful Turkish Classical Music songs. Here is the most adaptable song list for raki tables;
