Sunday Morning World Pop
Posted By Ardellis on April 22, 2007
One of the coolest things about the internet is the possibility of stumbing across something fun that you might never have encountered in real life.
This morning, I’ve been exploring Middle Eastern pop music. Mainly Egyptian, Lebanese, and Turkish. I’m not usually one to fall for the pretty-boy pop icon type, but I’ve become rather enamored of Tarkan. I think I’ve listened to Ölürüm Sana eight or ten times in the last six hours, and it’s not getting old. His signature song, Şımarık, is also quite appealing.
being a mad Tarkan fan since 1999, his Simarik song was big in Holland then - I can suggest some sites for you.

and of course his official site at http://www.tarkan.com and he is at Wiki too.
I have ben a fan for years and he was in Rotterdam at the Ahoy in March and it was a fantastic concert! Olurum Sana is about my best album of his. It is 10 years old - was out in 1997 - but ı still listen to it today.
Wow! Thanks, Martin!
