Darío Moreno (3 April 1921 – 1 December 1968) was a Turkish polyglot singer, as well as an accomplished composer, lyricist, and guitarist who attained fame and made a remarkable career centered in France which also included films, during the 1950s and the 1960s. He became famous with his 1961 song Brigitte Bardot.

His real name was David Arugete and he was born to a large Jewish family. He was orphaned in early childhood when his father, who worked in a train station in Aydın, was shot dead under tragic circumstances. He was placed in the Sephardic orphanage of İzmir (Nido De Guerfanos) by his mother and remained there until he was four.

His songs are still very popular in my hometown Izmir. For the classification, Armenid + Alpinid i'd say ...

Looks Berid with an Armenoid nose. Typical Sephardic Jew.
