The second part of a three-part series of records from the Nublu founder and bandleader Ilhan Ersahin's Wax Poetic project. The series takes Ersahin to different countries where he collaborates with their musicians. "Istanbul" brings him to his father's homeland to paint his own picture of modern day Turkey; a street-art project that is vibrant and current, one that tosses the "world music" misnomer on it's head.
