Crowd and kemençe
A small crowd at night singing along with a kemençe player. Where else but İstiklal Caddesi, Beyoğlu?
Kemençe
The kemençe (kemenche) is a small, bowed string instrument from the Black Sea area in Turkey and Georgia. This is a kemençe player and a vocalist on Istiklal Avenue. I am assuming this is Laz music, from the south-eastern Black Sea area. (If one of you more knowledgeable ethnomusicologists needs to set me straight on this assumption, contact me, please!)
