The record label says:
Together with her husband, she adopted 47 street children and orphans, and gave them musical training. With her ensemble, she performs hymn-like songs and spirited belly dances. Dzansever was born in a tent in Macedonia. As a child, she sang on the streets and later at weddings, performing in restaurants across Europe until she was discovered by the Turkish superstar Ibrahim Tatlises.
She now lives in Istanbul and her arabesque style has made her a star throughout the Near East. For these recordings, she returned to the cradle of her musical career. La Macanita comes from the Gypsy district of Jerez in Andalusia. With her impulsive and expressive voice, she is one of the great discoveries of Flamenco music to emerge in the past decade. For the Seville recordings she brought along Moraito, currently one of the most celebrated of all Flamenco guitarists. Romica Puceanu died recently in a car accident after performing at a wedding. Her ballads, blending bitter-sweet melancholy with the tender pain of sorrow, captivated audiences far beyond her native Romania. Gabi Lunca is the other great diva of Romanian Gypsy music. To virtuoso accompaniment, she sings with soulful grace of love, longing and the troubles of everyday life. Her songs are released on CD for the first time. The "fragile vocal princess" Mitsou from Budapest is the youngest of the Gypsy Queens presented here. Her "miracle voice" has enchanted international audiences in recent years. Here, she performs impressively with the groups Ando Drom and Bratsch.
Vertical format double CD pack with two and a half hours of recordings and a lavishly illustrated booklet.
For the first time in the history of phonographic recording, this double CD presents six of the most outstanding female voices in Gypsy music in one edition. These are songs of impassioned intensity, smouldering with emotion. Brand new recordings from Skopje feature Esma Redzepova, hailed as Queen of the Gypsies in Rajastan no less than 25 years ago.

Please note!
Most CDs have been
imported from Europe or Asia.
They are not all
shrink-wrapped, and I am not
going to con you by wrapping them
here just to make you think they
have been sterilized in America.
We guarantee that the CDs and the
contents are all brand new and in
perfect condition. Whenever I
can, I use recycled shipping
materials. They may not look as
pretty on the outside, but they save
money and keep the trash dumps a
little bit emptier.
