Barış Akarsu was an amazingly talented rock musician who died way too soon in 2007. I remember listening to him as a child and his & Tose Proeski's deaths affected me the most in 2007, celebrity wise.
This name is spelt 'Barış', (with a dotless 'i'), instead of Baris. [noted -ed]A famous bearer of the name 'Barış' was Barış Manço who was a Turkish rock singer, composer, television producer and celebrity. His songs were widely translated into other languages, and he was and is one of the most famous public figures in Turkey. I remember watching his television programs as a kid.
