For this special episode of our Destinations series, we travel to Kosovo, Albania and the Republic of North Macedonia to find out more about Tallava – a music genre originating from the Roma and Ashkali communities. Tallava is becoming increasingly popular in Albania and North Macedonia. It is identified as part of the wider pop-folk genre of the Southeastern Europe, which includes "chalga" from Bulgaria, "skiladiko" from Greece, "manele" from Romania, and "turbo-folk" from Serbia. Presented by Dragoș Rusu and with guests: Bucharest based musician known as Cosmo, currently working on his PhD thesis on köçek, and Bram De Cock, music collector and DJ from Belgium, part of the Rebel Up record label.
