WHY JOSIPA? – THE REACTIONS

"The music and the voice that don't age, whose value and quality, just like in case of a good vine, get better and better, despite the years that keep going by.'' 

Marijan (27), Zagreb, Croatia

"Because the aliens are so rare and it's a great honour to know them.
Because She is an art. And art can't go against itself.
Because each of her performances hits me from toe to the top of my head.
The eruption that shakes my inside.
Because I discovered her before I was 10 years old. And when I reached 10
I discovered lot of people that I have since left along the way. She is the constant.
I have no idea why. It just is."

Romana (35), Zagreb, Croatia

"... the breakthrough from the seabed on the surface that shimmers on the sun...
... walking barefoot on the alienated centre of the unknown town...
... the whirlwind of the leaves on the breath of wild wind...
... the dressing of a rainbow under the falling rain...
... with the stretched diaphragm, with the vibration of the soft palate born laughter...
... absorbent, away from the eye, on the cheek slipped off tear...
... the embrace with the life that one lives, the uncertain tranquility...
-- the m(U)sic..."

Ena, (20 - a kid!), le meilleur des mondes possibles

 "The songs change their gowns and hairstyles, their scenes and seasons. And it goes on for years... They are anthological and yet so new on each of the concerts. In the wondrous game of creation. And it goes on for decades.. For, The voice... It lives, the music lasts... It remains fresh. It raises. And I goes on for centuries..."

Paulina (25), Tivat, Boka kotorska, Montenegro

"When I heard her for the first time, I realised I'm not alone anymore. I'm not sure in what have I fallen in love, I don't understand it until today, but I can sense it. It must be everything that Josipa means in my second self... music. It's a cosmic art to transform life into music, joy and sorrow, laughter and tears, the indescribable and untold depths, the pictures that I may never see, the emotions I may never have anyone to share with... All this and even more, is a divine capability on the paper with the clef.
Josipa is a bridge that simply happened in my life and helped me mature, understand, feel... Today it is behind me... Many thanks and many untold truths to Josipa. "

Maja (35), Zagreb, Croatia

"Josipa probably won't be around when the people (especially the one ‘at home') definitely realise the genius in whose vicinity they were ALLOWED and had the honour to live... But there are lot of us who got that point already in 1967, who honour that and have the incredible respect both for HER unique opus and HER as a person... God knows – that at least 2 big hearts beat and think of her EVERY SINGLE DAY... Zürich sends its greetings to Josipa. Or even better:
Zürich loves Josipa. "

Marko (53), Zürich, Swiss

"Sometimes beautiful, sometime miserable, but my life would definitely be unimaginable without Josipa and Karlo's music.
She became part of me, marked my growing up, that most sensitive of all periods... Days when I'm crazy or when every small thing can make me happy, when I budge, cede and become so decisive and brave only in my mind...
It wasn't enough to have all the CDs and playlists, to look for old LPs... One had to hear it live, to suck in, to live it with all senses, to stir up both the intuition and the sense.
That is why I found myself in the magical Vurberg, the foggy Krsko, the fairy Kastav, from where I went further to Opatija, Maribor, Boka, Zagreb... All the way to Belgrade, from where I started.
Can I feel anything but like the queen of the wilderness after all that?!
That voice and that music made the threads that bind me to the beautiful people and events, without which many pages would remain unwritten, the albums empty and the dreams not dreamed. "

Sandra (20), Kragujevac, Serbia

"Well... Josipa is joy, Josipa is sadness, Josipa is here when she smiles at me, Josipa is here when I feel like crying... Josipa is comedy, Josipa is tragedy, Josipa is love, Josipa is relaxation, Josipa is alpha, Josipa is omega! :):):)"

David (18), Icici, Croatia

"In any case, Josipa is a charismatic and simple person and only she can answer some of the questions. She is a person that accepts and sees an individual – as a person. As for her vocals and words – the lyrics that come to one's heart whit that miraculous voice of hers that makes the songs to sound fantastic. She handles the publicity, we love her and she loves us back with her songs and positive energy. Josipa is the queen. Ready to help at any moment. Last year I invited her for a vintage to my vineyard and she accepted. She worked, enjoyed and talked with us all afternoon. She was working as one should; we were all surprised because we didn't expect her to enter the vineyard. She is a true diva, the greatest. I wish her lot of good health, excellent concerts and, of course lot of love in everything she will be doing in life."

Gregor (27),  Kostanjevica na Krki, Slovenia

"When someone can take away your breath from joy, put a smile on your face that lasts forever and the music deep in your heart – that is JOSIPA"

Sandra (34), Osijek, Croatia
