Turkish music

I guess I have been introduced to Turkish music for quite some time. I once had a housemate who played Sezen Aksu almost 24/7. Maybe I would appreciate the songs better if I understood it. I just found it depressing. I think my all time favorite turkish song is Isyankar by Mustafa Sandal featuring Gentleman. I think the video is nice too. My first visit to Istanbul earlier this summer was quite like the taxi drive in this video



I guess his earlier song araba was also very popular. But the version of Faudel's La main dans la main is much better. I am not sure who copied home. Faudel's version sounds more pop rai.
