Sümmani
Âşık Sümmani was born in 1860 (according to some sources, 1862) in Samikale village of Narman district in Erzurum province. He was the child of a poor family and earned his living through farming and shepherding. His poems are found in both oral and written sources (cönks, collections of folk literature). We have no information about Sümmani's educational background.
However, based on his poems, we can say that he received a good education. He is one of our talented âşıks (folk poets). In order to find Gülperi, whom he encountered in his dream, he traveled to the Caucasus, Iran, Crimea, and Afghanistan. He is not only one of the leading âşıks of Eastern Anatolia but also of all of Turkey.
He classified and narrated stories during his lifetime. Some of the stories he narrated have been published in books prepared about Sümmani. The stories known to be narrated by him are: Kerem ile Aslı, Latif Şah, Sevdakâr Şah, Sümmani and Gülperi, Tufarganlı Âşık Abbas, and Gülgez Peri.
Sümmani passed away in February 1915, and his grave is in his village.
