Balkan party music in Seattle

Phiravelman kalyi phuv

Posted on Sep 25, 2018

We like this recording by the Hungarian Rom band Romanyi Rota because its lyrics are a stark prayer to God for strength to be good in hard circumstances. We play it as a relaxed cocek.

The song is similar to, though not the same as, the Serbian brass band melody “Kako kolan da se videm,” with lyrics by R. Todorovic. Two songs for the price on one!
