The spirit of a place is a genuine force that goes back to the beginning of time only to prove its existance over and over again. To measure up the powerful unity between the ancient breath of soil and sky, and the urge carried like a message in the veins - that is what it means to respect with integrity. When all this emanates in real life as a divine ability to use voice with a heavenly gifted precision - then it becomes Art.

Being in love with Macedonia and the spirit it holds within, keeping alive the flames of the Gypsie tremor that moves in sounds wherever they reach - that is what it means to be blessed and to be named Esma.

About Esma Red?epova Teodosievska

Esma, a Gipsy from the city of Skopje, as she calls herself, raised by the late Stevo Teodosievski, revolving the world and broadening the acquaintance of Macedonia and Skopje, last year celebrated 40 years undeniably prolific work. According her achieved acknowledges and successes, she is, indeed the most successful performer of all times. Further more, going deeper into her intimate, private life we become aware that she is our second Mother Teresa.

Namely, Esma not having the luck of being a natural mother, she brought up 5 children in her own house, and other 47 are proud the say that Esma is their mother and father. Nowadays, each year, giving concerts around the world, which have never been noticeable in our media; in complete anonymity she raises money for her armaments, educating them, above all providing them blissful and normal life. Never have knocked on state institutional doors, years from now, Esma, lives and works like a benevolent institution being for much replacement for the society. Even her monograph and her web page are sponsored by her own means and again it is not for sale but only given away as a present.

Esma lives in democracy, accepting the trade market even in the culture and being a great worker and quality, nothing ever is unconquerable. It is beyond doubts, that she is completely civil and intellectually orientated person, suffering a great soreness in her soul not only because of her husband’s earlier departure from this world but also because living in a society that has a huge trouble understanding magnanimities like her and finding a way to reimburse at least with a crumb of love. Perhaps it is understandable why Esma held her hands upon Vasil Tupurkovski when he stated, “We are all Macedonia”!, finding a bit of hope that after all something is going to be changed.
