Âşık Ramî

 Âşık Ramî

The real name of the minstrel is Rıza, and he was born in 1866 in Üsküdar, Istanbul. Therefore, he is also known as Üsküdarlı Râmî. Râmî worked in various occupations such as horse driving, tinning, and firefighting, and he last held the position of a Bandırma Customs official. It is rumored that he became a disciple of the Bektaşi sheikh Nutkî Baba. Âşık Râmî, who is known for his smiling face and long white beard, lived his last year bedridden due to paralysis and passed away in 1921 in his house in Üsküdar's İhsaniye neighborhood.


The minstrel who used the pen name Râmi wrote poems in both aruz meter and syllabic meter. Râmî gained recognition with his poems in the genres of gazel, koşma, epic, and taunting. His poems often contained Arabic and Persian words and phrases, influenced by the culture he embraced. Râmî, especially with his mocking attitude in his epics, attracted attention as a poet.
