Amid Istanbul's vibrant music scene, a small band has hit relative fame thanks to its curious musical blend and humanitarian purpose. 
Country For Syria, formed by Owen Harris, an American accordionist, and Bashar Balleh, a Syrian guitarist, blend American Country music and Arabic folk songs - and uses its concerts to support refugee families. 
Their aim, they say, is to create a small space for humanity at a time of rising nationalism and populism.
Harris and Balleh created Country For Syria in December 2015, and it happened by chance.
