Middle Eastern music
Turkish Rock is also known as "Anatolian Rock". This is a genre under Turkish music.  This genre is a mix of Turkish folk music and Western rock. Atatürk, founding father of Turkey, wanted to make Turkey more like the West (more European and American). Thus, music also became more like that of the West, but still with some Ottoman elements.  It combines Turkish and Western elements in language, instruments, rhythm, melody, and harmony.  Seen as Western elements, instruments like the electric guitar, bass guitar and drums are used. Names that are big in this genre are: Barış Manço, Erkin Koray and Selda Bağcan.
