İbrahim Özgür

İbrahim Özgür (1910 – 11 February 1959) was a Turkish tango composer and singer.

Özgür learned clarinet and saxophone at the Military Academy in Ankara when he was 16.

In 1931 Özgür embarked on a concert tour for seven years and performed in many East Asia countries such as India, Indonesia, and Singapore.

Afterwards, Özgür went back to Turkey and opened a nightclub called “Ates Boceklen”, which means “Glow-worm” in English.

His best-known tango, “Mavi Kelebek”, was inspired by an Indian princess whom he met.
