Product Description
An arrangement of the Romani National Anthem for Brass Quintet.
"Gelem, Gelem" is a traditional song with lyrics composed by Žarko Jovanović, often used as the
anthem of the Romani people. The title has been adapted in many
countries by local Roma to match their native orthography and spoken
dialect of the Romani language. In an interview with reporter Mike
Kalezić, Jovanović himself titled the song "Opre Roma".

After experiencing firsthand the incarceration of Roma during the
Porajmos (the Romani Holocaust of World War II), Jovanović later
composed the lyrics of "Gelem, Gelem" and set them to a traditional
melody in 1949. The song was first adopted by delegates of the first
World Romani Congress held in 1971.
