ESMA REDZEPOVA from Macedonia, performed for more than 40 years and was recognized globally as the musical "Queen of the Gypsies." Her impassioned voice easily reduced audiences to tears, and got them dancing in the aisles. Esma was accompanied acoustically by the accordion, clarinet, trumpet, tarabuka and double-bass. A glamourous diva by appearance, Esma was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize for her Rom-related political work. With her late husband she adopted 47 children and then trained them to earn a living with music. Her basement became home to a 24-hour Romani TV station reporting on everything from new Romani pop hits or community birthdays, to Macedonia's 5,000 Romani refugees from Kosovo. Esma passed in 2016.
