Cast : some of the best traditional musicians in the Balkans - Bulgaria, Macedonia, Serbia, Rumania and Turkey - without forgetting the influence of the tsigane soul. Shot 1: black-and-white evocation of all the nostalgia of a fanfare where the kaval, the tapan and the soubassophone fight it out with the clarinet, the saxophone, the trumpet and the accordion.

البنت الشلبية
عيونها لوزية
بحبك من قلبي يا قلبي
انت عنيا
بحبك من قلبي يا قلبي
انت عنيا

حد القناطر

محبوبي ناطر
كسر الخواطر يا ولفي
ماهان عليا
كسر الخواطر يا ولفي
ماهان عليا
بتطل بتلوح و القلب مجروح
و أيام عالبال بتعن و تروح
و أيام عالبال بتعن و تروح

تحت الرمانة
حبي حكاني
وسمعني غناني ياعيوني
وتغزل فيا
وسمعني غناني ياعيوني
