Davide Martello the Pianist Made Famous at the Gezi Park Uprising in Turkey Has Come to the US as Part of His #StopKilling Tour

Davide Montello single-handedly halted the violence between the Istanbul, Turkey police and protesters this past Spring for 3 straight days prior to the eviction of the occupation of Gezi Park.

Last night he played on the Smithsonian, here is a report and pictures of that performance.

Tonight he played at the Lincoln Memorial. Below are three videos of his performance.

Martello’s visit to Washington is part of his Stop Killing Tour.  To learn more about the Stop Killing Tour, see other concerts and read their blog, visit his website here.  The US tour began in North Philadelphia, the beginning was an improvisation as the plan had been to start in Maryland but Davide just wanted to start playing.

Davide Montello began the US Stop Killing Tour in North Philadelphia (not where they planned to start). Unknown to Montello, there had been a shooting in the neighborhood the night before. A perplexed onlooker asked, 'what is this?' and when it was explained he said "we need that around here."
