Concert in Istanbul

Existential Banjo, Episode 11. Dokunmak with Erkan Ogur in Istanbul. This was a concert that we did in October 2015, just four days after the bombing in Ankara. Erkan is a pioneer of the fretless guitar that he uses to play the microtonal pitches required for such grand melodies. Western instruments can get close, but not quite right. Listen to the same melody played by on Erkan's guitar and then on the banjo to hear the difference.
