Bahçenizde Gül Var mı - song and lyrics by Mustafa Taş | Spotify

Today, artists like Ankaralı İbocan and Emrah Öz keep the spirit alive. It’s a staple of the genre because:

If you’ve ever been to a Turkish wedding or a local "Ankara Night," you’ve likely felt the floor shake to the rhythm of Ankara Oyun Havası . One track that never fails to get everyone on their feet is the lively and slightly mischievous (Is There a Rose in Your Garden?).
