Growing up in the tradition of minstrelsy in the Republican era father - son minstrels and example: Minstrel Sebahattin İkan - minstrel Korkmaz İkan

One of the biggest factors in the continuation of the tradition of minstrelsy is the issue of raising apprentices. Prospective (Apprentice) minstrels who travel to learn the tradition from a master suffer from various difficulties, sometimes even have to decamp to this training due to material impossibilities. But people who step into the tradition thanks to a minstrel in their family have various opportunities from the moment of their birth and are in an advantageous position from those who grew up in a master –apprentice relationship. One of those who has this opportunity is "father-son minstrels." In this study, individuals who are examples of father-son minstrels will be examined with emphasis on Sebahattin Ikan in love and Korkmaz Ikan in love with his son. In addition, in addition to the life, poems, stories and encounters of Sebahattin Ikan and Korkmaz Ikan, information about their art will be given and their place in the tradition will be determined.
