Music from Bosnia. Bearded man performs in dresses.

Post by gender free universe »

This is not a drag. What you see is an expression of my inner self. I don't let myself be defined by any gender stereotype. This is how the bearded musician Božo Vrećo (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bo%C5%BEo_Vre%C4%87o) reacts in interviews to his performances in dresses. He sees himself as a voice for LGBT rights in the Balkans.

With his band Halka he gained fame within and away from the Balkans at sold-out concerts and international music festivals. Here comes an example of his art:

Ain't nothing like twirling in a big ol' long dress.

Looks like he had a lot of fun making that video.

I was also fascinated. The locations chosen were wonderful. I watched several other related short videos and the photography was wonderful. The guy's got a great high tenor voice and the orchestration musically first class. All of the melodies seem to have been in a minor key and some sounded a bit Yiddish or middle-European.

Pity about the language barrier, though.
