Cocek [Romani]
Cocek like the Rom people was scattered across the Balkans, mostly throughout Bulgaria, Serbia, Republic of Macedonia and Romania. It emerged during the early 19th century. Popularized by Ottoman military bands, it is a variation of an old 3-measure dance-form related to the Hasapiko or Kasapsko oro. Today it is found in many parts of the Balkans and dance under a variety of names.
Djelem Djelem [Romani]
Djelem Djelem is the anthem of the Roma people. It was a very popular song among Serbian Gypsies in the 60's and there are various texts to the melody. It may have been an old Romanian folk song re-written by Rom in Serbia, who also changed the tempo. The melody of this song became popular in Europe in the end of the 60's from Alexander Petrovic's film Skupljaci perja (The Buyer of Feathers) known under the name "I Have Met Some Happy Gypsies".
