Arif Susam (born 1956, Elazığ, Turkey) is a new wave/synthpop artist. His style combines traditional Turkish tunes with synthesized instruments. He was very popular in the 80s and early 90s with fellow artists like Nejat Alp, Ümit Besen, Cengiz Kurtoğlu and Atilla Kaya. ==Career== His statement "Pain and suffering in various tempos" describes the career of Arif Susam spanning over more than 25 years. He started playing keyboards and singing in local clubs and restaurants. At the same period he recorded a demo and sent it to Şahin Plakçılık record label which turned up an eight figure record deal. In 1982 he began performing live every night at Köşem Restaurant in Tarabya, İstanbul. The Köşem Restaurant sessions went on for 14 years without a break. Susam is known for being the only artist to go platinum in Turkey, as his double live 1985 album Tavernada Yıldönümü sold over 1,200,000 copies. His live tavern performances usually took place in the Bosphorus shore district of Tarabya. Not being as much popular as he was in the 1980s, he still performs live with his Korg i3 keyboard at a restaurant in Yenikapı district. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Arif Susam」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
