She had such a strong voice!!
Absolutely, I just assume most of its members were already "working from home" anyway. more
Sad news in deed.
Her voice was unique more
That's assuming Spearmint Rhino is still a thing, obviously it's not at the moment, but it might be a mystery who's stil going going in, like who's stil going in "those" cinemas

Ottoman military brass bands inspired Balkan Gypsy players to a blistering musical repartee of their own eclectic creation, hammered out with the devil-may-care �lan of a marginalized ethnic minority certain of little else in a deceitful world. In Tito's vanished Yugoslavia, at the Guca Brass Festival, Serbian brass royalty congregated for an annual blowout. Cutting all contenders, it was there that Gypsy trumpeter Boban Markovic made his name. Live in Belgrade captures all the strutting vitality of his band, complete with Markovic's vocal interjections, the natural reverb of live sound and, hanging on every lyrical phrase, the raucous appreciation of a passionate, knowing audience. more
The Orkestar's unassailable wall of brass includes eight horn players, a saxophonist and two percussionists. Of the nine tracks, seven are dazzling Markovic arrangements of traditional Serbian, Gypsy and Jewish dance tunes. "Otpisani" opens with a menacing bass line and percussive horn harmonies, over which Markovic's warbling trumpet casts a ska-like spell. "Hava Naguila" assumes a startling aura, arguably the dizziest oom-pah flogging this well-traveled chestnut has ever endured. "Ring, Ring" lays down a brassy coda to Momcilo Kristic's other-worldly sax lines, in a wailing, soaring attack that could be a snake charmer's lung-splitting etude, set against Markovic's sustained exhalations and a fundament-rocking brass foundation. Kristic's resonant reedy touch also weaves a redolent counterpoint to Markovic's stately vocal on "Zajdi, Zajdi," a sober ramble shifting suddenly into the thundering fanfare of "Vodopad." The album's longest track (nearly twelve minutes) is an energetic brass medley of Balkan Gypsy cocek dances, levitated upon some outlandish sax and dead-on percussion to go. more
