Açık Gazete Compiles Corruption Songs

Açık Gazete, a radio program presented by Ömer Madra and Can Tonbil on Turkey’s Açık Radyo, compiled a youtube playlist of songs related to the corruption probe. 

“We shared with our listeners all sorts of songs that reminded us of corruption [probe],” Tonbil told bianet. 

“Generally, we prefer to share songs of singers who were either born or died at the current day. However, we leave that routine under exceptional circumstances. 

“For instance, we shared songs related to Gezi Resistance during the Gezi Resistance protests. Now we have the corruption probe in the political agenda. So we are playing songs related to corruption from all over the world.” 

Some of the songs played during Açık Gazete program were as follows:

Pink Floyd - Money
