The Sarajevo Gypsies music harmoniously integrates outside influence into the various Balkan styles of music to create a “World” feeling. Songs filled with nostalgia explore conflicting feelings on such themes as exile, tragic outcome of seperation and above all celebration of Woman. Songs relate the pain of lost, inaccessible or impossible loves. The singer also tells of the fight against the remains of the desire felt for person who inspired it. Some songs are woven with daily events: they provide more questions than answers, but they always allude to hope for a happy and worriless future. Other songs, irresistible dance songs, are an invitation to celebrate life with heart and passion. The gypsy rhythms gain volume, the violins lose restraint, the ears drive all the senses to become engulfed in the festive rapture.
