This is where my old friend Turkish gypsy Okay Temiz, legendary jazz drummer, percussionist and composer, comes from.

It is also where another old friend, legendary Turkish gypsy percussionist Burhan Öcal comes from.
It is a crying shame what they are doing to the Roma people there, it is killing part of Istanbul's soul.-
