About Nasvali So Uljum
Nasvali So Uljum is a traditional Romani folk song performed by Macedonian singer and composer Esma Redžepova. The track appears as the tenth entry on the live album Festival d’été de Québec 2001, released posthumously on July 15, 2021 under the Bell label. The recording captures Redžepova’s performance at the 2001 edition of the Festival d’été de Québec, an annual music festival held in Quebec City, Canada.
The song runs for 4 minutes and 16 seconds and exemplifies Redžepova’s signature blend of Romani musical traditions with contemporary arrangements. Known for her powerful vocal delivery and fusion of Balkan, Turkish, and Romani influences, Redžepova’s rendition of Nasvali So Uljum reflects her lifelong advocacy for Romani culture through music. The album format is a compact disc (CD), though digital distributions may also exist.
The 2001 festival performance marked one of Redžepova’s international appearances, reinforcing her reputation as a global ambassador of Romani music. While the album’s release occurred two decades after the original recording, it preserves a key moment in her career.
