Kaleš bre Angjo


Kaleš bre Angjo (Macedonian: Калеш бре Анѓо) is a Macedonian patriotic folk song dating from the times of the Ottoman Empire.

It is often performed by a male / female duet, but not necessarily. It is structured in a form of a dialogue. It has four verses of which the first three are performed by the male vocalist (in case of a duet).

It has been performed and recorded by many popular folk singers from the Republic of Macedonia, the former Yugoslavia and the whole Balkan region. Pop, Rock, Jazz, and even Classical cover versions also exist (incl. versions by Danica Obrenić Esma Redžepova, Goran Bregović, Toše Proeski, Azra, Laza Ristovski from Bijelo Dugme and many others).

The song was used for the movies: Emir Kusturica's Arizona Dream and Borat! Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, although it has no connection to the music of Kazakhstan. The song is not included on the soundtrack CD for this movie.
