Today on The World: Afghanistan’s security forces and whether they’ll be ready to deal with extremist violence when US troops eventually leave; Also, presidential elections are about to take place in Honduras — even though the country has yet to solve its ongoing presidential crisis; Plus a cover band from Istanbul reinvents Western pop classics — with a Turkish twist.
Can you tell me the name of the Turkish Band featured on today’s program and where one might purchase their music. Thanks, Bill
The Turkish band is called: Dolapdere Big Gang. The transcript from that portion of the show can be found here: http://www.theworld.org/2009/11/24/dolapdere-big-gang/
Ditto for me. The music was wonderful.
I forgot to mention, you can purchase two of their albums on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=Dolapdere+Big+Gang
