CAN BULGU

THE CITIZEN was founded in 2002 by Can Bulgu, singer, songwriter. Living between Munich, Istanbul and Moscow and working as an Architect and Musician, he was inspired by the creativity of Gypsy Musicians of Istanbul, thus recorded his first album "Wedding Party":
"When I first heard them play, i realized that there is something mystical in the sound, an essence we tried keep in our album. There's something intuitive gypsy musicians added to the notation of the songs, which you rarely can find working with others. I will keep discovering those mysteries. It's a lifetime journey"
THE CITIZEN stands for thoroughly metropolitan, open-minded inquisitive, honest music. On a journey between Orient and Occident, THE CITIZEN is located in Istanbul, a city on its way to shape modern forms of sounds containing both the traditional and the unusual.
The Album combines Pop, Funk, Reggae and Soul with Gypsy elements on strings and Clarinet.
The Brass Section is lead by Volkan Sanda, a well-known Saxophone player in istanbul. http://www.volkansanda.com
