Müslüm Gürses was thought to have died as a result of a traffic accident and was put in the morgue and then it was recognized that he lived. He lost 50% of his hearing as a result of an accident. He sang all these beautiful works with difficulty in hearing. Rest in peace.
As you have mentioned this is an utterly different kind of music, compared to ones that you have listened; which were more of progressive works that have things similar to other country’s same genres. However, this is what we call arabesque. Think of it like blues, not in terms of the music but its background. This was popularized by people who came to big cities, such as Istanbul, from Eastern Anatolia. In that years, construction workers etc. was being instantly famous with one record. They are mostly about hardness of life, impossible loves (poor man -rich woman) and this music was causing many people in ghettos to suicide, people were going with razors to the concerts and were cutting their wrists, even if they do not intend to suicide. Now it is more wide spread, “White Turks” also have existential pains with them, secretly, but it still perceived by many as lower taste. This guy you have listened is one of the superstars of this culture Müslüm Baba(Father), a common way to show respect in arabesque culture. By the way, I understand why you thought there would be some oriental dancing etc. but it is an interesting contrast actually which is them using this sort of live motifs but it is all about suffering and no one even moves when listening it except some head moving left , right with blurry eyes.
At the age of 10, he witnesses his father murdering her mother in front of his eyes. He is left with no one. His brother is killed again because of his father. At the age of 20, while singing in bars, he had a car accident and broke more than 100 bones in his body and died in the hospital he was taken to. When he is taken to the morgue, his heart starts beating again and a hospital attendant notices this by chance and Müslüm Gürses comes back to life. It has a very large audience in Turkey. Research their recent work. He has several albums in which he sang world classics.
It's proud to be Turkish. Beautiful artists of my country. There is no place where there is no Turk. ( Türk olmak gurur verici. Ülkemin güzel sanatçıları. Türkün olmadığı yer yoktur.) 🇹🇷 😊
Müslüm has great voice besides struggling life past behind. Everyone respect him as they do their father. Keep up with this kind of songs that you can better understand what Turkish culture is actually about. 👏
Hey buddy you shouldn't die before listening to these songs :) Erkin Koray - Akrebin Gözleri 3 Hürel - Ömür Biter Yol Bitmez Ersen - Gafil Gezme Şaşkın We Turks love you...
Biz bu şarkı ile ameliyatlara giriyoruz hacı abi. Müslüm Baba bu şarkısı ile 83 milyon yaralı .Dün yaralı idi bugün yaralı yarın da yaralı kalmaya devam edecek .
Rule no1: When Muslum baba is being played, the song never gets cut off ever. People liatening in their cars actually wait for a song to finish before they leave. 😬😂
As someone who speaks English (although not as much as you do) and watches people who make content like you on the internet, I would like to add a few friendly comments. Firstly; I must remind you that in order to fully understand the songs of our artist Müslüm Gürses (who is not alive at the moment), that is, to understand like a Turk, it is necessary to know intermediate level Turkish. If you want to read the lyrics completely and accurately, you can check the lyrics websites in Turkey. Still, I respect your work. I wish you continued success.
Hi Robk. Believe me this is exactly not a song that you might want dance with. Best thing to do with this song is getting drunk and thinking the lover you had in the past and maybe crying and pouring some tears and drink again and again.
