The Barcelona Gypsy Balkan Orchestra will perform a concert on October 17 at the Sava Center in Belgrade. This international ensemble from Barcelona has released a new album featuring singer Margerita Abita from Sicily, including a cover of Silvana Armenulić’s song “Ciganine sviraj, sviraj”. The album features songs in Spanish, Serbian, Russian, Romani, and Italian. In spring, they released the single “Zrejlo žito”. The concert and album represent a fusion of diverse cultures and musical traditions.
Political Perspectives:
Left: Left-leaning outlets emphasize the multicultural and inclusive nature of the Barcelona Gypsy Balkan Orchestra, highlighting the fusion of diverse musical traditions and the celebration of minority cultures such as Romani music. They focus on the cultural exchange and artistic collaboration across borders.
Center: Center-leaning sources report the event factually, focusing on the concert details, the new album release, and the international composition of the band. They highlight the musical diversity and the upcoming performance without strong political or cultural framing.
Right: Right-leaning perspectives may emphasize the preservation of traditional Balkan and European musical heritage, possibly highlighting the Serbian and regional elements of the orchestra’s repertoire. They might also focus on the cultural pride aspect and the significance of hosting such an international ensemble in Belgrade.
