A superstar in Europe and his homeland
Turkey, dance-pop composer Tarkan mixes modern beats with Middle
Eastern melodies and arrangements.
Though he had been a fixture on the
Turkish dance scene for a few years, his 1999 single "Simarik"
made him an "overnight" success in European clubs, and
led to a wider release of his self-titled album from that year.
Tarkan included songs from his two
previous, Turkey-only releases and repeated the success of the single;
in mid-2000, it was released in the US by Universal Music Latino.
