Ederlezi
« on: June 19, 2016, 07:20:55 PM »

A Gypsy song for St George's Day.  To the memory of Jo Cox who had named her house-barge after it.

Background:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ederlezi_%28song%29

This version (from a Turkish site) is in a suitable key for most British players.  There are many versions of it in many languages.  Most likely Cox first heard it in Goran Bregovic's arrangement for the film "Time of the Gypsies".

I can't figure out how to quit but I will no longer check this group and have deleted all shortcuts to it.
