Video: Song - sound of pots & pans / tencere tava havası


With my little sister's commentary (below) - her words are far more eloquent than mine could ever be, so I'm borrowing them to explain the video (above). Definitely worth watching.
A really beautiful song made in the protests, with English subtitles. At 9pm every night for almost 3 weeks now, people go out with pots and pans as a form of protesting and making sound. This is not a temporary form of resistance. It has almost hit 3 weeks now and will not stop until there is some change, which the current government is much to stubborn to do. People have now become used to joining the protests in the streets after they come home from work. A new lifestyle has erupted. Please watch to see how something so beautiful can come out of such ugly violence.
