Arrangement of Tencere Tava Havası (Sound of Pots and Pans), by Kardeş Türküler. This video of a street performance was released in June 2013 as a criticism of Turkish Prime Minister Erdoğan's response to ongoing passive protests involving people banging silverware to pans and pots.

''Kardeş Türküler (translated either as "Brotherly Songs" or as "Ballads of Fraternity") was conceived in 1993 as a series of stage performances given by the music branch of the Folklore Club at Boğaziçi University in Istanbul, Turkey.''  - Citation de Wikipédia

Pour la suite :

''Under the auspices of the Boğaziçi Performing Arts Ensemble (BGST), formed in 1995, the program used the concert stage to advance the ideals of common ancestry and celebration of diversity as a foil to cultural polarization and ethnic tension. Forthwith, the musical heritage of the Laz, Georgian, Circassian, Roma, Macedonian and Alevi cultures were all incorporated into the program. The scholarly collection and research of the diverse folklore traditions of the region is an important part of BGST’s activities, but Kardeş Türküler has been intent on forging its own music tradition as well.''
