ღ❀♥Diri, Diri, So Kerdjan? - Romanyi Rota♥❀ღ

From the time their ancestors began wandering west from northern India over 1,000 years ago, Gypsies have been simultaneously scorned & glorified, rejected & romanticized. They are almost mythical & magical beings, representing people outside the confines & mundane realities of the everyday world. "Diri, Diri, So Kerdjan? (diri diri, how can it be?)" by Romanyi Rota (Hungary) The song tells a tragic tale of jealousy gone wild. It has a sinuous Balkan feel, calling to mind the Turkish influence in Romanyi Rota's native region. The use of mandolin & bouzouki & the stuttering, asymmetrical rhythm conjures up a Greek/Macedonian ambiance.
