Esma Redžepova

ESMA REDZEPOVA from Macedonia, has been performing for more than 40 years and is recognized globally as the musical "Queen of the Gypsies." Her impassioned voice easily reduces audiences to tears, and then gets them dancing in the aisles. Esma is accompanied acoustically by the accordion, clarinet, trumpet, tarabuka and double-bass. A glamourous diva by appearance, Esma has been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize for her Rom-related political work. With her late husband she adopted 47 children and then trained them to earn a living with music. Her basement became home to a 24-hour Romani TV station reporting on everything from new Romani pop hits or community birthdays, to Macedonia's 5,000 Romani refugees from Kosovo.

mr sqip. Esma is a good friend of mine, I met her a few years ago while I was translating the movie Gypsy Caravan. I also went on tour with her for 1 week as a translator for her I got to know her and her history pretty well. 1. Esma and her father where born in Macedonia in the city of Skopje in the Romani ghetto of Topana. EsmaONLY identifies herself as a Macedonian Rom. AS AM I. 2 Roma sing in all language.3 you albanian always claim anything good as ur own cuz u have nothing of ur own.

Horohane Roma means she (or her relatives) are from Muslim origin. In a way this is related to Albania. But amongst the Roma this is more important than the nationality. As for the citizenship - she is Macedonian.
