I must admit that Turkish music has a special place in my heart… ever since my friends bought me a Tarkan CD long ago.

Gençkan has our bodies and souls. Who's Tarkan to be mentioned here ?

You just killed my favourite stereotype: All Turks love Tarkan.

Hey, how old is that Gençkan track?

First of all, the video was shot for serious. It is no "let's make a prank video" stuff.

Secondly, that should be taken around late 80's or early 90's. I predict so due to the quality level of the video shot and the sheer heavy metal influence (..well at least he tried to dress so..ahem..)

He's not known at all today. He's just an urban hero after being discovered lately through this video on Youtube.

His very envied talent is the ability to get electro guitar sound from a classic one. His oversized leather jacket and killer looks follow after.

Tarkan? Well he is a popstar indeed. Many of the best tracks contributed to Turkish pop music are signed by his voice. His "Karma" album was a throughout lecture about how far quality a pop album can reach.
