He was a gipsy king, a gambler, a drunk, very talented musician, who - his words - recorded more than 800 compostions in his career....
Gipsy music will never be the same without him....his white suit, his sunglasses, and most important his unbelievable voice, which gave you the shivers...
It is only proper we say goodbye to the greatest of them all in style. Tonight we will play his music, take a look at the pictures from his concert with the Slovenian band Šukar, drink raki and maybe even play a tune or two in his honour.

Saban Bajramovic – Pelno me sam
Crazy and eventfull June brings as yet another festival. This time the poetry will be the main subject. Mlade rime (Young rhymes) is a festival young poets, who are still to make their mark on the poetry map.
The festival will take place in Menza pri koritu. With a slight difference. This time the audience won't only be served with good poetry but also with good music. Mlade rime and Gipsy Jungle have teamed up, to bring you a concert of the excellent jazz trio Lolita.
There is no need for further introduction, but still... Lolita is/are Primož Simončič (sax), Marjan Stanič (drums) and Iztok Vidmar (bass). The band was formed in distant 1987, from there on played in numerous concerts, festivals, theather shows from Nizhnevartovsk to Tel Aviv, from Mostar to Kiev.
Their music is - in their own words - HiEnergy Turbo Porno Minimal SugarFree Pop Funky Overdrive Ethno Broootaal HardGroovie Jazz kind of music. In other words, it's their own. It is based on jazz, but it is so much more than just that!
You can get an idea about Lolitas sound from the video above. The music in the video is a recording of a jam session Lolita played with a Tiptons Sax Quartet & Drums.
Before and after the concert young and talented DJ Tito will take you on the trip around the world.

The more opportunities the more possibilities!
Warming up at the beginning shy crowd in Gala hala yesterday night was our Didipoka (listen to the set in GJ player). Gipsyjungle fans also seem to be football fans, because the place only got half full at the start of next performance.
Italians played 1:1 against Romania yesterday on EURO 2008 but that didn't stop Municipale Balcanica from performing nothing-less-than-great on stage. During their performance Gala hala received full dosage of gipsy style trumpets and saxophones .
But that wasn't enough for Friday-night crowd expecting DJ Gaetano Fabri's performance. And perform he did! People dancing, singing enjoying themselves right until the sunrise. You'd had to be there! Lucky for you that we recorded this event also. Listen to it in GJ Player on the right.
We've tried hard to bring you a good dosage of quality gipsy drum'n'brass, world, jungle and many others rhythms this season, including a couple of great events in Gala Hala. It is time to say goodbye to for the summer (don't worry, just to Gala Hala), and how to do it better than with another great concert. This time we bring you the crazy balkan-gipsy-klezmer-italian crossover from the hot Italian South Municipale Balcanica and just as hot Belgian DJ Gaetano Fabri, who will sure as hell make you dance as he did the audiences in New York, Rabat, Paris and Mexico.
DJane Didipoka will also perform on Friday with her worldly groovy rhythms.
If you want to find out more about the performing artist, click here.
Otherwise just put your dancing shoes on and join us on another great dance till dawn party. This time we start earlier, so don't be late....

For the line-up just check out the flyer above.
For the instructions check out the map. See ya there!
Saturday, 14.6. Kamnolom Radeče, 15:00
You won't believe what we saw couple of weeks ago while drinking nice drought Czech beer at Zlati zob. While enjoying dark beer others lager version of that tasty brand belly dancers surprised us with couple of performances. Our cameraman Gadni (luckily he brings his camera everywhere) captured those nice moving hips.
My Hell Jackson and Kamnolom present an open-air jungle event of the year. Jungle inna di woods is going to take place in a beautiful surrounding of Kamnolom Radeče. Tricky D, Kingstoned Sound and W.G. will be the music providers.
TRICKY D
Tricky D has been a breakbeat ambassador since the early 90's and is one of Berlin's first underground Jungle DJs and Activists. He got involved in Berlin's cult underground club "In Eimer" and met up with Mez. They became members of the first German live Jungle band Elektronauten. The following years were filled with touring, djing, studio work and releasing music under different names together with General Elektrick and friends. In 2001 he opened the Tricky Tunes Record Store. In 2002, he spent some time in Jamaica, where he and Mez did recording sessions with local vocalists, and decided to start their own record label: Tricky Tunes. Their releases have featured many international vocal talents such as Daddy Freddy, Labrador and Lyrical Banton. They continue to build up their network of underground producers, and are still keeping vinyl alive and spreading the vibe across the place.

W.G. (My Hell Jackson)
W.G. started DJ-ing on elementary school dances, when everybody were still listening to cassettes. He started with his d'n'b, jungle and breakbreat sets three years ago. He is well known to the audience in Ljubljana, since he has been spinning his music in all the alternative clubs in the Slovene capital; from Channel Zero, Gala Hala, Klub Gromka, Kunilingus, and Jalla Jalla to Rog. He has also performed in Kamnolom Radeče, KMR Plac, Rdeča ostriga, Izbruhov bazen in Kranj, Boogaloo in Zagreb and Sea Splash Festival in Pula (Croatia), and has provided some seriuos scratching for gipsy drum and balkan brass DJ Haris Pilton.
HOW TO COME TO KAMNOLOM?
Kamnolom is accessible with a car or train. From Ljubljana go to Trbovlje and then continue to Zidani most. At Zidani most turn toward Krško and drive another 4 kilometers. Where the road crosses the river Sava, turn right to Radeče immediately. From there on just follow the signs. If you come by train, stop at Radeče railway station, cross the river and turn right. Then follow the signs as well!
Another week, another theme night in Zlati zob. This Tuesday DJ Tito (Koromandija World Music Store) will take you to Asian Underground. All of you Bhangra & Oriental beats lovers join us.
Friday will be a day for gipsy drum'n'brass. Haris Pilton behind the turntables will play all of your favourite gipsy music hits as well as his own devilishly good material.
Tuesday & Friday, 3. and 6. ZLATI ZOB (Zaloška 69, Ljubljana), 21:00

They have played on the most important festivals and club scenes in Finland, Portugal, Hungary, France, Croatia, Austria, Czech Rep., Armenia, Estonia, etc. They supported Massive Attack and Depeche Mode during their Russian tour. Their new album Turbo Mayrik combins Armenian folk tunes with other influences, including experimental rock, Caucasian chorals and contemporary world music.
Supported by Haris Pilton's drum'n'brass.
