Ciguli (1957 – 31 October 2014) (born Angel Jordanov Kapsov; Bulgarian: Ангел Йорданов Капсов) was a Bulgarian Chalga (pop-folk) singer and accordionist of Turkish-Romani descent, who became popular in Turkey.[1][2][3][4]
His real name was Ahmet, however, at the time of his birth Bulgarian authorities did not allow Turks to use their own name thus they refused to register his real name in registry, although his family continued to call him Ahmet. His name was registered as Angel Jordanov Kapsov.
The best known songs of Ciguli include "Binnaz", "Şiki Şiki Baba" and "Yapma Bana Numara!"
He also played the accordion with famous singers Sibel Can and İbrahim Tatlıses.
