At a time when Elvis Presley, was breaking the hearts of American girls with his songs, the Balkans had their Toma, whose heart was breaking by Yugoslav girls.
While Elvis would dance with his audience, stealing their smiles, Toma would bring his audience to tears by singing his melancholic notes, inspired by his life. As much as I am sure that most people in the world think that Elvis lives, through his songs, I am not so sure that so many people know the reason why the Balkans believe that Toma has never and will never die.
Toma is inwrought into every being from the Balkans so much that no wedding, celebration or even an ordinary student party cannot be imagined without the magnificent songs of this bohemian king. It is not so difficult to understand that if you decide to visit the "kingdom" in which Toma was one of the longest and most beloved "kings". It is located in the capital of Serbia, in its bohemian quarter called Skadarlija.
Every kingdom has its own fairy tale, so we (people from the Balkans) leave you in a fairy tale, wrote in an explosion of emotions, in which all the magic that gave this man the "crown" he wore was created and that gave us the legend with which we still cry, laugh, marry, celebrate, and mourn.
This time we gave you our best movie. A movie about our immortal Toma.
Enjoy and see you in "kafana"! (I am sure you will understand what it is. Let the feelings show you) :)
