    The rich musical heritage of the Turkish metropolis located between the Orient and the Occident comes to the screen in director Fatih Akin's cinematic tribute to Istanbul's thriving music scene. In bringing both historic and recent expressions of Istanbul's unique legacy of music to the screen in a documentary that strives to both inform and entertain, Akin offers compelling insight into both the creative history of the city as well as the lives of the individuals who populate it.

    November 02, 2006: This dvd presents the deep, delightful relationship between contemporary Turkish life & its music. Sounds, visual richness, and comments on culture by local artists & listeners accompany a German musician as he takes us through varied parts of Istanbul & her lively music. His entranced observations as he is welcomed at special gatherings and everyday occasions open a world to us, including a Romany wedding, the growth of Turkish rock & hip hop, street musicians, & some of the most famous faces in Turkish music of recent decades. Like being back in Istanbul!
