Tangolar
by Ibrahim Özgür
As in other counties tango was very popular in Turkey in the late 20s and the 30s. Originally tangos in Turkey were performed by female soloists only. The first man to win an audience was Ibrahim Özgür. His velvety voice was predestined for romantic tangos, and he also became famous for his talented compositions and arrangements, which have a very special touch of nostalgia.
Unhappiness in love, the pain of parting and the longing are the three emotional pillars of real tango... Özgür drew inspiration from his unrequited love for an Indian princess who he met on his big Asian tour in the 30s. In the later years he never ceased to think about returning to her, although he had immense success, especially with his female followers." I wrote many of my tangos in order to vindicate having received so many love letters" Ibrahim Özgür once declared.
