Bio
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"
