Popera: Sertab Erener and "Buda"

Turkish pop music singer Sertab Erener brings us our random tune for today, called Buda. Best known for winning the 2003 Eurovision song contest, Erener was born and raised in Istanbul where she first studied opera. However, she began working with Turkish pop idol Sezen Aksu, and released her first album in 1992. She has performed hit songs for Turkish dubbed versions of Disney movies, and in 2004 she released her first English language album. In 2005 she recorded a much lauded version of Madonna's Music which was featured on the soundtrack to the documentary Crossing the Bridge: The Sound of Istanbul. Buda can be found on her 2005 album Aşk Ölmez, and on the 2006 various artists compilation Putumayo Presents: Turkish Groove.
