The Gitans de Sarajevo add a whole new flavour to music from the Balkan and Eastern European music. Not only do they continue to play the seductive airs natural to gypsy music, but interpret it with a unique spirit that pushes the traditional into a modern context .

Goran Jezdimir and Boris Bartula originaly met at Sarajevo`s Academy of Music. Years later, they bumped into each other in Montreal and thus the musical collaboration known as the Gitans de Sarajevo began. Due to their love of music, seven musicians (al of ex-Yugoslav origine) have decided to overlook their origines, be it Serbian, Croatian or Muslim, and have united together to play gypsy music. The origines of gypsy music, its lack of roots and its joyously melancholic airs, is something that all of these musicians share and have in common.

The Gitans de Sarajevo are Boris Bartula (voice and piano), Goran Jezdimir (flute and saxophone), Miron Rafajlovic (trumpet), Predrag Manov (guitare) Anes Berglergegovic (percussion), Georgi stankov(bass), and Brigitte Dajczer (violin).
