Minstrel tradition is likely one of the mostly studied field in Turcology research studies. This tradition, an important element of Turkish cultural ecology, has achieved to survive from the religious-ritualistic process to the process in which it has been an object of entertainment designs. Similarly, the Minstrels, who are wise poets with a prestigious status in sociocultural context, have spent efforts in this regard and have partially adapted to various cultural environments, the elements of these environments, and the reactions of public/administrators. This study includes some evaluations on the past and current state of minstrels tradition, which follows a specific sociocultural context and tradition; have a target audience sustain and know; and needs an economic background and supportive bosses, as is in most of the artistic organizations and traditions. These evaluations were released through minstrels as the subject of the tradition, participant audience as the carriers of the tradition at the second degree and the context, and the bosses as the supporters of the cultural organizations and conditions. As a result, minstrel tradition has some positive and negative characterizations. The tradition has problems regarding keeping itself up-to-date in the context of current conditions and issues. The minstrels have lost their prestigious status with the advent of electronic cultural environment in spite of their past characteristics such as being a source of news, being the ownerships of historical memory, making an organized cultural action fortunate/fertile, and wisdom. Some changes have been experienced in traditional performance rituals and masterapprentice relationship. Currently, the tradition has been adopted by the media bosses as an element of entertainment culture although it was commonly known as call-and-response duet (lampoon/kidology). The tradition has left masculine performance style based in coffeehouse-village chamber-groomsman nights and has directed to new addresses, discourses, and issues centered in radio-television-internet environments. It was finally revealed that the minstrels who could not leave the cities persist local styles.
