Türkiye II 🇹🇷 • Folk dances from 7 regions! | Türk halk oyunları (Vasilis)

[@VasilisDance]

Thank you for watching and supporting me! Don't forget to share my video! If you want to see the rest of the 20+ Turkic tribes, you can watch it in this medley here kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqHTe6uJf8uEf7Msi=D-f5KVyK9PwTo_rM !! PS: In all my videos I try to answer to everyone, but I want to let you know that I deliberately ignore and I will not answer to racist comments or propagandistic speeches. Regarding this video, the Turkish culture is very old, very rich and very diverse and it did not need to steal anything from anyone. There are only many shared melodies, dances and cultural customs, since this geography is so diverse. Shared things or having fun with common songs between two or more neighboring tribes does not mean theft (!). To contribute to each other is something very beautiful and every nation has done it or has received it. So, try to enjoy a dance video without feeling this urge to attack a nation. :)

[@rayak1281]

Vasilis, this is perfectly said! The Ottoman Empire was a mix of so many cultures and diverse people! Everyone borrowed from everyone and influenced each other. Especially if they were in close proximity to each other and shared a border. Personally as a Bulgarian, I identify alot of the sounds and dances, especially the use of wooden spoons. But I also see the Greek, Armenian, Kurdish and even Assyrian/Persian influences. I think we should just enjoy this cultural music medley and not constantly revert back to history to justify everything. Let's leave the past in the past. Great job again on this video! I watch it everyday for a mood boost! ❤🎉

My grandparent were of Rum origin and they used to listen "Silifke'nin Yogurdu" every day. When they earned a lot of money, they would drink alcohol and have the clarinet and zurna play at the table.They would get drunk and dance with wooden spoons in their hands.They would hit their knees on the ground as if they were playing zeybek.

What about Dans Oryental and Dabke? being that you are an Iranic people like the Lurs and Circassians of Russia. Is there no significant Kurdish population in Southwest Russia, you Kurds even have mostly muslims cousins there who are Iranic ethnic groups of Iranic descent from Medieval times or afterwards, in Russia.

[@Arshahan]

@4:52 "Ağır govenk" translated as "heavy" or "slow" govenk comes from long tradition of Armenian "gyovnd" dances. The word "govenk" comes from Armenian "gund" (unity, group) and in the Armenian dialect of the region (Sasun, Mush, Baghesh (Bitlis)) becomes "gyond" or "gyovnd". The rythm sounds very close to Armenian dances of the region.

[@mertcelikoglu487]

😂

[@thescientist4919]

Well because of that it’s kurdish, Govend is Kurdish not Turkish but yes Kurds and Armenians have very similar cultures Cauz we lived very long time in the same land but govend is kurdish word which literally means halay like all kinds of this dances are govend also halay comes from kurdish word which means “ playing,dancing or jumping” and hildan means “to pick up” and the second thing is that “gund “ is also in kurdish means “village”

[@jokocha]

Gövenk is Turkish name for dances in Far East Turkey. I thought it came from the Kurdish word Govend. My Kurdish friend told me that Govend comes from the Farsi word "Goyende", which means to sing. In the past, when musical instruments had not entered the villages, people would form a circle for halay and take turns chanting each other.
