BRIGA is Brigitte Dajczer. A nickname given to her by band mates in Les Gitans de Sarajevo who happen to also be refugees of the Bosnian War in former Yugoslavia, BRIGA means “to worry”, or “burden”. Often it is a term of endearment when referring to your loved one as “moje briga” or “my burden”. Some of the most beautiful songs come from the sadness one expresses, or the weight of woes on one’s heart…and from all of this, the weight of a burden is lifted, and thus BRIGA is born...
