What is daty?

Daty is a term used in Turkish to describe a specific type of traditional Turkish music, particularly folk music. It's often associated with certain regions and communities within Turkey and can be characterized by unique melodies, rhythms, and lyrical themes. Because it is oral tradition, the precise meaning and characteristics of "daty" might vary based on local interpretations and cultural contexts. In some regions it refers to songs of exile and in other regions to lullabies. Also, due to its oral roots, there may be limited formal documentation about "daty" compared to other better-known genres of Turkish music.
