   bb-Esma-318.jpg Esma Redzepova - internationally acclaimed as the Queen of Romany Songs and nominated for the second time for the Nobel Peace Prize. She sings and dances with a special feeling and has a vibrant voice that fascinates everybody. Esma, born in 1943, began her long professional career in Macedonia at the age of 13. She was the first Balkan performer to make Romani music popular with non-Rom in the early 1960's. She is giving around 200 concerts a year all over the world. In the past thirty years she and her late husband Stevo Teodosievski have fostered forty-seven children and educated them in music and cultural traditions before he died in 1997. And she is a great and specific philanthropist - trough a decades long career she is sharing her earnings with organisations, institutions, communities and individuals in need. |
