The song “Üzülmedin mi?”, which translates to "Are you not upset?" in English, by Simge is one of my favorite pieces of modern Turkish music. Even prior to taking Turkish here at UR, I was listening to this song. It is awesome! This song is a good example for what modern Turkish music commonly sounds like. Modern Turkish music often infuses modern popular, standard pop music sounds with sounds unique to traditional Turkish music.

Turkish music is amazingly popular and has a huge impact all across not only Turkey but its neighbors both near and far as well. Everyone knows how awesome it is!
