Story behind the song
GYPSY FREE SPIRIT: Dejan Kostic and D-Mona X
Background Information:
Why are Gypsies considered to have GYPSY FREE SPIRIT?
Volumes have been written in answer, but one simple explanation for GYPSY FREE SPIRIT was made by an anonymous Gypsy girl:
"They sing all the time, dance in the rain, and seem to blossom in troublesome situations. They are free spirited because they do not let hard times bring them down; they are resilient in all aspects of their life. Gypsies are a little different. As free spirits, Gypsies are also free-souls.
But you don't have to have Gypsy DNA to understand and live with GYPSY FREE SPIRIT.
In the orld of music and other akin arts, two of the best examples/models of GYPSY FREE
SPIRIT musicians, who were not Gypsy by ethnicity or birth, are Dejan Kostic and D-Mona X of
the band Du Du Ah (aka: Du Du A) which was an Alternative Rock band/Other Genres (See Below):
