Bergen ( a.k.a. Woman of Pains) is one the most successful singers of turkish arabesque music ground. His pathetic life story, his cruel husband who throws nitric acid to her face when she's performing her songs, then she becomes a blind singer covering her one eye with her hairs. Her blind eye wasn't a handicap to go on her career, she continued to sing her songs in more painful sound. After that, another tragic and sad event follows that she dies because of his same brutal husband by several gun fire at the age of 28... All of these tragically added to Bergen's music the most gloomy sound. I think she's one of the most impressive voice that i've ever heard. That's why she has been called by "Woman of Pains" from now on.
