Since so long, Büyük Saat, one of the historical places of Adana, and its surroundings have been home to commerce during the day, yet in the evening, as soon as the shops are closed, tables are moved to the streets, barbecues are prepared, and the sounds of music begin to rise.

Black Butterflies is one of the bands making music here.
