Presents the voices of three musicians - queer nightclub star Zeki Muren, arabesk originator Orhan Gencebay, and pop diva Sezen Aksu - who collectively have dominated mass media in Turkey since the early 1950s. Using these three singers as a lens, the author examines Turkey's repressive politics and civil violence as well as its public life.
