Short documentary film
52’
In the Bosnian & Herzegovina city of Mostar, at the city’s Pavarotti Music Studio, Shaban Bayramovich – the king of gypsy music – is cutting his new album. In parallel, back in Shaban’s hometown, the Serbian city of Ni¹, Shaban tells the tale of his life. His qualities are expressed with warmth and honesty through the recollections of his wife Milica, childhood friend Belly; his colleague and friend Liljana Petrovic Butler (the gypsy Ella Fitzgerald) and many more of Shaban’s closest friends and fellow music professional, who all contribute to showing us why Shaban is the biggest Roma singer in the world.
