Gazel
Gazel is a form of Turkish music that has almost died out. While in other parts of West Asia, gazel is synonymous with tanbur. It is the vocal equivalent to the Turkish taqsim, an improvised instrumental composition.
The form began to die out in the mid-20th century because of its associations with nightclubs,[clarification needed][2] but it has recently begun a revival process.[3]
