Thx to Balkan beast DJ Delay for clueing me to this caper...
Big news! Esma Redzepova will be performing this Saturday evening at the Croatian Centre in St Albans.
Redzepova - sometime actress, & Nobel peace prize nominee - occupies an Olympian pinnacle of Roma femme-vox. Some readers will be familiar w/ her singing from the Borat soundtrack, but here is the earliest recording of her's I have to hand - a 1979 cassette of A Bre Ramce.
Dig!
Not her first local appearance, but she doesn't make it Aus so very frequently...
... the Balkan beasts explore this sonic terrain in their regular club nights: this Thursday at Horse Bazaar, and Friday at Bar Open.
