Far from Seattle: Duman and "İstanbul"

Today's random tune is called İstanbul, and is by Turkish rock band Duman. The band was founded in 1999 and blends elements of Turkish folk music with rock and grunge as well as utilizing an Arabic vocal style. They have had a big influence on the rock scene in Turkey. İstanbul can be found on the soundtrack to the documentary Crossing the Bridge: The Sound of Istanbul, released in 2006.
