Bend the Knee: Bendeniz and "Kirmizi Biber"

Okay, my title is a bad pun. That's what happens when I've had a long day at work with a lot of little niggling things going wrong.

Thankfully, what didn't go wrong is our random tune of the day. Today's tune comes to you from Turkey via Switzerland. Bendeniz is the performing name of Deniz Çelik, a Turkish pop star born in Zurich. She is very popular in Turkey, and has released twelve albums. She also won a contest on French TV in 1995. This song, Kirmizi Biber (Red Pepper), can be found on her 2005 album Aşk Yok mu Aşk and on the Putumayo Presents: Turkish Groove CD (2006).
