Dear brothers and sisters!
Our nation has lost one of its ardent activists, a wonderful singer and artist Esma Redzepova. She promoted Roma culture on many levels, enjoying world wide fame, participating in social activities and representing Roma with pride. Roma world and the world of music have suffered a big loss with her passing. She will be also remembered as a social and political activist of IRU.
On behalf of International Romani Union we are expressing condolences to the family of Esma Redzepova, she will be missed by all of us.
Lokhi phuv lake!
