KEMENÇE CULTURE AND TODAY’S PERFORMERS OF THIS CULTURE IN GÖRELE

Abstract

It can be observed that the loss of interest in traditional music culture compared to popular music culture and the simple creation and use of music videos on social media has caused the interest of the society to diverge from the traditional culture. The facts that this music has been protected for generations in Görele, which is located in the Eastern Black Sea region, and is a traditional music culture, increase the importance of the research. The aim of this study is to determine the transfer of the kemençe culture from the family, the rituals of the kemençe performance and the training methods. As a method, semi-structured questions were asked to 4 kemençe performers based on the Case Study (Case Study) and the findings were included in the interpretation of the answers. In the study, it was seen that the support of the family and social environment was great in acquiring the kemençe culture, but a written source as a method is needed for the kemençe performance education to continue for generations. It was concluded that the performers participating in the study followed similar schools, used the same style of repertoire and gained economic gain from their performance.
