Müslüm Akbaş (born May 7, 1953), better known as Müslüm Gürses is a Turkish folk singer. He was born in 1953 in Şanlıurfa, Turkey. He married Muhterem Nur in 1983. He mostly sings Turkish folk and Ottoman classical music, with an arabesque style. His talent and his special style have put him to a different place among other folk singers. In his songs he mostly expresses sorrow and painful feelings. He is considered a cult figure in Turkish folk music and has a very dedicated group of fans, most of whom being young, low-income urban people. He is mostly called Müslüm Baba (means 'Papa Müslüm' in Turkish) among them.
