Lulugja ingarena | "Flowers they bring"

by Rejo

This song by Rejo portrays the lament when a member of the Romani tribe passes away. While the grief is palpable, the song itself doesn’t carry a dark energy. No, it sings about how everyone gathers, how they cry, how they bring flowers. There is a beauty in the love portrayed in this song and the farewell of the tribe to their beloved brother. Romani tribes always gather together in crowds when someone passes away, and while the song is about grief it is also about this powerful, instinctual togetherness.
