KANLI TOWER (OLD TOWN)
21:00 OĐILA
Spectacle of Russian – Gypsy music
Since its very beginning the group Ođila has been playing the music based on the tradition of Russian Romen theatre and the music from the legendary movies such as Queen of the Gypsies and The Shooting Party all around the world. Yugoslav and world media had often spoken about Ođila as an authentic gypsy band from Moscow, which is a certain testimony of the perfection of its members and the quality of their performance.
From 1983 to 1990 the band published 3 albums (two of which were platinum). Their third album encompassed soundtracks from the movies such as The Dark Side of the Sun – starring Brad Pitt, Second Man and The Eighth Day of the Week in which the performers also acted (The integration of music and acting is also present in the theatre play We are flying, we will meet, which was directed by Stevo Žigon). In the same time frame Ođila won the Orpheus award for the best record according to JRT and the European award for the best song at the European competition for the best radio recording (Solniška).

Ođila held concerts in all important venues in the former Yugoslavia, including Kolarac Endowment and the Theatre of Maribor, where they were the first musical ensemble to perform since its founding. The ensemble represented Yugoslavia at the World Festival of Gypsy Music in London (1988), where they won numerous awards and recognitions (even from the group Gipsy Kings). Ođila is popular not only in Europe, but all over the world, even in the Far East (South Korea, Singapore).
In the last few years, the band had given several exceptional concerts in Zagreb in Lisinski concert hall, in Union hall in Maribor, in Kolarac Endowment in Belgrade and they also participated in BELEF, a well-known festival in Belgrade, having a record number of visitors.
