Recordist's notes
Boza is a drink of fermented wheat, its origins date back to quite long ago. by now not much more than an ottoman atavism, it is rare to hear somebody like this man passing thorugh the streets, vending a home made version from a big metal vessel and serving portions to people at their windows.
