Description
Saban Bajramovic
"The Serbian singer is clearly a giant talent, comparable in his own way to Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan or Mari Boine Persen, someone capable of bringing their music to life with such vivid spirituality that it vaults with ease over the most impenetrable cultural barriers. His voice combines the anguish of rai with the soulfulness of fado - a sort of Balkan gypsy jazz" - Andy Gill, The Independent
"... his songs have been constantly stolen, copied, and imitated by famous and unknown musicians. Promises and contracts have proven worthless. Actually, he's never been interested in protecting his work. Where others would have earned millions, he's lived as he's always lived: from day to day, making music, going wherever he wants, and not recognising any limits at all." - Mostar Sevdah Reunion
Saban Bajramovic widely recognized as a king of gypsy music, passed away on 8th of June, in his hometown of Nis, Serbia. He gave freely of his soul, through his disarming smile, timeless charm, restless life and magical voice. Saban sang his heart out and shied from asking anything in return. Please join his friends and former band members from American tour, will gather at Joe's pub to give him a farewell concert and gather money to send to Saban's wife Milica and family he left behind.
