A fairy tale about the king of Roma music
The book "Pitao sam Malog Puz" (book dedicated to Shaban Bajramovic) by sociologist and romologist prof. Dr. Dragoljuba B. Djordjevic from Nis was introduced almost two years ago.
The author attempts to socially define the phenomenon of Shaban Bajramovic in an original way - creating a vocabulary of terms, backed by archaisms and localisms.
We have long agreed that the hero of Nis is vassarlia, cafancheros, naked-tailed, barbutas, lover, gnozluclia, puppetry and filmmaker.
Shaban Bajramovic is also labeled as a good-natured, host, exuberant, aide, Serbian Roma and Patriot, but he was not a pariah, a citation and was never a Roma jigsaw, Djordjevic emphasized.
The author says that the book "Pitao sam malog puza" motivated a dedicated essay by British columnist Garth Cartwright titled "Shaban Bajramovic - A Spender of Life".
Bajramovic's fate was to do something for himself, for us, and for music in general. He was more valued abroad than here.
Shaban had to, as Djordjevic points out, as a child manage to make bread crumbs, and be an amalgamator.
- He was like a soldier desertion, for nothing to go to Goli Otok, with Alija Izetbegovic breaking stones, learning to sing and playing the contrabass, "he was to sing" I'm Captured "and be in 12th place a sacred list in 1965.
To compose 700 songs, perform all over the world except Australia, be on the prestigious "Time" list and be proclaimed king of Roma music "Djordjevic emphasized.
