General's Office in Istanbul Tuesday evening.

 The Young Fellaz Brass Band brought the sound of the streets of New Orleans to the U.S. Consulate General's office in Istanbul on the evening of July 3rd, part of a three day celebration of American Independence sponsored by the U.S. State Department.

The band marched into the crowd of several hundred, and within minutes had the crowd of Americans and Turks snapping their fingers, clapping their hands and tapping their feet.
