The "Meyhaneci" (Tavern Keeper) is a recurring archetype in Turkish music. It serves as a confidant to the heartbroken, similar to the "bartender" in Western country or blues music. Songs addressed to the meyhaneci are designed to be listened to during communal gatherings where listeners share their sorrows.
