Hello Gokuyum. How about this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1GYQBsFOqA

This wouldn´t be an actual Turkish folk song but that style at least?

Is the singer considered good in Turkey or more of a Pop singer who adds Turkish elements as an after-thought?

I was stuck on a few things in the Lyrics, what is Saki? what is "Ah be"?

Sıla is a popular pop singer.

Sorry but I dont hear any folk elments in the song.

Saki means cup bearer.

Yes, I do´t like the tablets. I use a laptop/notebook and am good with the touchpad. It is looking like smart phones and tablets will be the death of the written language. 
Good luck getting your PC repaired. I think in Turkey you have sme excellent PC repair people. I had one that I was told the CD Rom and DVD drive was dead, and the keys kept ketting stuck. They wanted big bucks just to diagnose it....long story...even though I had a warranty on it, they found a way to not honor it.

Now in Turkey is is working very well.

But isn´t the main instrument on Saki the Bağlama? Not that every North American Pop song using an acoustic guitar makes the song a true Folk song, but we often relate these.

Sila sounds too good to be a popular pop singer by North American standards. I´m noticing this, many of the most popular Turkish Pop singers are quite good. Not that none of the pop singers in North America are good. But usually you´ll find the good singers are less popular. Of course this partly may be my own personal opinions.

Yeah American pop music really hit the bottom. But with it Turkish pop music too. There are only a few good musicians now.
