Music of the City of the World's Desire - Istanbul

This week we travel to Istanbul, where the creative pop star Nil Karaibrahimgil treats us to unplugged performances of some her best-known songs, rock legend Şebnem Ferah shows off her shredding skills in front of 20,000 screaming fans, and famed clarinetist Hüsnü Şenlendirici invites us to picturesque Maiden's Island for a jam session by the sea. Also we toast our exploration of Istanbul's past and future with a hearty glass of raki, the famed Turkish liqueur, as we are serenaded by street musicians at a traditional Istanbul cafe.
