While "Züleyha" is often associated with the rhythmic "Halay" style, the lyrics typically revolve around themes common in Turkish folk music:
The name Züleyha itself is steeped in Middle Eastern tradition, often referencing the historical and poetic figure known for her intense devotion and trials.
It blends traditional folk elements with the soulful, often melancholic tones of Arabesque music.
Açıkses has frequently performed alongside the artist Züleyha (Zelişah Kızılkan) on programs like TRT Müzik's "Züleyha ile Sınırsız Ezgiler," where they perform regional classics such as "Fadile". Themes and Cultural Context
