This paper examines the stylistic evolution of three prominent Turkish male and female vocalists—Sibel Can, Cengiz Kurtoğlu, and Hakan Altun—within the genres of arabesque, fantasy, and pop-folk from the 1980s to the present. Through lyrical theme analysis (love, longing, social struggle) and musical arrangement techniques (use of bağlama, darbuka, synthesizers), the study highlights how each artist preserves traditional Turkish makam while adapting to contemporary production trends. Findings show that while Cengiz Kurtoğlu represents classical arabesque’s raw emotional delivery, Sibel Can bridges stage showmanship with polyphonic Ottoman influences, and Hakan Altun modernizes the genre with sentimental ballads aimed at younger audiences.
