 As a Raindrop Turkevi, we wish Happy Thanksgiving to all. Our lives are not determined by what happens to us but by how we react to what happens, not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life. Therefore, this season of Thanksgiving is a good time to remind ourselves of the many ways we are fortunate in our lives, even in the midst of challenges and difficulties each of us face. Raindrop Turkevi again wishes the best to you all for happy, healthy holidays with friends and families.

It's not every day locals and tourists have the opportunity to catch music from a Turkish military band. Next week we'll have three opportunities. Here's the press release:
San Antonio Raindrop Turk Evi Host Inegol Ottoman Mehter Band Bursa Inegol Ottoman Mehter band will perform in Dallas, San Antonio, Austin and Houston. Ottoman military bands are thought to be the oldest variety of military marching band in the world. Though they are often known by the mahtar; mehter in Ottoman Turkish in the West, that word, properly speaking, refers only to a single musician in the band. In Ottoman, the band was generally known as mehterân, though those bands used in the retinue of a vizier or prince were generally known as mehterhane, meaning roughly, "a gathering of mehters", In modern Turkish, the band as a whole is often termed mehter takımı ("group of mehters").
