Others

In the film On the Other Side of Fatih Akın , Kâzım Koyuncu is mentioned: while the hit Ben seni sevdiğimi is playing in the background, a petrol station cashier connects Koyuncu's death with a regionally increased cancer rate after the Chernobyl disaster . Koyuncu's music can also be found on the film's soundtrack . The authorship of this piece of music is not guaranteed. It is a traditional Pontic song by an unknown person from the Trabzon (Black Sea) area, from which filmmaker Fatih Akin also comes. One of the oldest performances of this piece is that of Hasan Tunc (1912–1986), by a musician from the village of Matzouka in Trabzon.
