Since it rst formed, Ođila has performed recognisableRomamusic around the world, relying on the tradition of the RomenTheatre in Moscow and music from legendary lms like the unforgettable Gypsies Are Found Near Heaven.

Ođila has been on the scene formore than 30 years, and it wasway back in 1988 that the band representedYugoslaviaat theWorldRomaMusic Festival inLondon, where they also thrilled the famous Gipsy Kings... Itwas30yearsagothatYugoslaviafell tothesoundsofRomaniRussianmusic andOđila achieved fame beyond thebordersofthecountry. Istherestill love for such sounds today, or have things changed? “Russian Gypsy music experienced huge popularity 30 years ago, a real boom, and so did Ođila, as performers of that music. Of course, a lot has changed in the meantime. The world has been ooded with a large number of music genres, styles, rhythms... Everything has sped up with the development of technology, and so the audience has less patience to listen to light romances andpoetry. But if youdo somethingoutofdeepconviction, honestly and with great emotion, which is the case with us, then you are lucky enough to nd the rightway topeoplewhoare capableof recognising and receiving that emotion.” YousaythatRomamusicispureemotionwithouttrimmings.Whatisitthat makes it so irresistible? “Roma music is indeed pure emotion. Stripped bare, unburdened by social norms and rules. Pure passion embraced bybeautifulmusic that carries joy and sadness and love and anger.

It is emotions thatconnectus, andthenwecontinuealongsomenewroads.That’s also the name of the song with which we always end a concert.” How did you opt for this type of music in particular? “At that time we were probably surrounded by more of that kind of music, so it lured us into its embrace with its beauty and strength.We simply gave ourselves to itwithout any kindof calculations and it has carried us tenderly to this day.” What will you o er us inMarch?Will we again hear the unforgettable songs of the lm Gypsies Are Found Near Heaven? “Theconcertwill includesongsthatour audiences expect of us.
