Istanbul has been talking about Tarkan's magnificent concert marathon in recent days. The final night of the 10-day performance series held at Volkswagen Arena after a long break was etched into memory not only by Tarkan's energy but also by the participation of the legendary name of Turkish music, Orhan Gencebay.
As the night progressed, Tarkan noticed Orhan Gencebay watching the concert from a private box, took the microphone from the stage, and addressed the master artist with these words:
"I have a legendary guest in one of the boxes. Orhan Gencebay... Orhan Baba, welcome, you have brought us joy. A great master, every song of his is an event. Incredible."
After this sincere greeting, Tarkan began to sing Gencebay's classic track "Hatasız Kul Olmaz" (No Human Is Without Fault). Orhan Gencebay also accompanied him from the box. This spontaneous and enthusiastic duet caused a storm of applause from the thousands of people in the hall and also became a trending topic on social media.
During this 10-concert journey, Tarkan did not just provide a musical feast for the listeners; prominent names from the art world such as Cem Yılmaz, Sibel Can, Ata Demirer, and Ajda Pekkan also added color to the nights. While every concert night was the scene of another surprise, the Gencebay duet performed on the final evening was recorded as the peak moment of the series.
