[[Romani people|Romani]] are known throughout Turkey for their musicianship. Their urban music brought echoes of classical Turkish music to the public via the ''meyhane'' or taverna. This type of ''fasıl'' music (a style, not to be confused with the fasıl form of classical Turkish music) with food and alcoholic beverages is often associated with the [[underclass]] of Turkish society, though it also can be found in more respectable establishments in modern times.<ref name="soundsofanatolia"/>

Roma have also influenced the fasıl itself. Played in music halls, the dance music (''oyun havası'') required at the end of each fasıl has been incorporated with Ottoman ''rakkas'' or belly dancing motifs. The rhythmic ostinato accompanying the instrumental improvisation (''ritimli taksim'') for the bellydance parallels that of the classical ''gazel'', a vocal improvisation in free rhythm with rhythmic accompaniment. Popular musical instruments in this kind of fasıl are the [[clarinet]], [[violin]], [[Qanun (instrument)|kanun]], and [[darbuka]]. Clarinetist [[Mustafa Kandıralı]] is a well-known fasil musician.
