Synopsis

In the Bosnian & Herzegovina city of Mostar, at the city's Pavarotti Music Studio, Shaban Bayramovich - the king of gypsy music - is cutting his new album. Parallelly, back in Shaban's hometown, the Serbian city of Niš, Shaban tells the tale of his life. His qualities are expressed with warmth and honesty through the recollections of his wife Milica, his childhood friend Belly, his colleague and friend Liljane Petrovic Butler (the gypsy Ella Fitzgerald) and many more of Shaban's closest friends and fellow music professionals, who all contribute to showing us why Shaban is the biggest Roma singer in the world.
