Abdula, Gjunler/parne Gadje
Bizoagor
Gunler Abdula is a Rroma playwright and poet from Skopia in Macedonia. His collaboration here with PARNE GADJE and in particular, composer Marc Constandse, is a stunning merging of styles and moods. Abdula, via "Bizoagor" narrates the ancient sojourn of the Rromas out of the Punjab into Central-Europe with visions of prancing horses, roadside fires, swirling stars and the age-old conflicts of timeless persecution, migration and homelessness. Constandse manages to invoke this further with his powerful soundscapes, performed deftly by Parne Gadje. Intensely beautiful. Not the slightest bit commercial. Too honest for that.
