Two Istanbullus argue across the Bosphorus over which shore is better, fighting it out with history: Byzas of Megara, the Fourth Crusade, the Nika riots, the walls of 1453, Sinan, and the earthquake they called the Little Doomsday.

L8 The Local Anthems World (Anatolian folk-rock)

Twenty Minutes by Vapur

Style

Fast Anatolian Turkish folk-rock at 152 BPM, moving from a nine-eight karsilama groove to driving four-four, led by davul, darbuka, zurna and amplified baglama saz, with alternating male and female Istanbul-accented leads trading lines over crowd call-and-response.
