Entry #4 İbrahim Tatlıses

I am a person who loves music in all its forms

  But Turkish music remains my favorite music, which gives me this inner tranquility, which is difficult to obtain now with the hardships of life.

But actually when I decide to clear my mind of all the pressures, I decide to go to the most likable thing to my heart. Turkish music and songs.

In particular the songs of the great artist İbrahim Tatlıses 

İbrahim Tatlıses (born January 1, 1952)  he is a Turkish folk singer and former actor. Since the 1970s he has been one of the most well-known and successful singers of the pop arabesk style. Tatlıses has recorded 42 albums, including notable albums such as Ayağında Kundura and Selam Olsun and was the host of the highly popular television programme İbo Show. He was also a leading actor that appeared in several dozen films, and also worked in the restaurant and tourism businesses

Ibrahim Tatls is one of the most prestigious artists he sang his songs and he reached  all generations feelings.

He is a legend and a great voice that will never be repeated in Turkish history of singing

 What made his songs really special

It is the tone of sadness in his voice that touched the hearts of all his listeners

In addition to the melodies that are still immortal to this day.

        Ibrahim Tatlises - haydi Söyle translated to English

Unfortunately, this great man was paralyzed

  He was shot in his head ,and almost died because of this attack in 2011

the Video of the assassination of İbrahim Tatlıses 

There was mush  talk about this attack, some of them said that he still controls the artistic scene in Turkey

but in fact  he was the first supporter of young talents in Turkey, but the public remained committed to him and to his songs , so the haters decided to keep him out of the scene completely

In another version, they said that he was supporting an important political party in Turkey and that the whole people were sympathetic to that party because of  İbrahim Tatlıses   

So the rival party decided to eliminate him completely and kill him So that they can control the people in their own way not in İbrahim Tatlıses way

But in both cases all he got was because of his brilliant success that lasted for years

Here the great sadness of all his lovers has began because 

 of his inability to sing and entertain his audience again because of  all what happened to him 

But even after he moved away from the art scene but he is still a difficult figure in Turkey

Video circulated by many to İbrahim Tatlıses  with his fans in 2018 after he began to cry because he could not share one of his fans singing on one of his amazing songs

After I visited Turkey last year and I saw the love from people for this artist in every neighborhood and street in Turkey

from my camera last year young people are singing  in the streets of Istanbul for İbrahim Tatlıses 

  i have heard his voice , he was  screaming as if he was saying to all the haters , that it is true that you have kept me away from what I love most in this life, which is singing and you killed my voice and I will not be able to sing again ,but  you will not be able to kill my voice the hearts of millions of my lovers in Turkey and the Middle East.
