🎙️ Interview Review | Voices@Alive – Sarah Bedak

Sarah Bedak joined Voices@Alive for a thoughtful and deeply engaging conversation about music, identity, and cultural belonging.

An Australian-born Roma (Gypsy) woman and the creative force behind Lolo Lovina, Sarah spoke openly about the importance of embracing her heritage and using music as a way to preserve, celebrate, and share Roma culture with wider audiences. Throughout the interview, she reflected on the responsibility artists carry when representing communities that are often misunderstood, and on the power of music as a bridge between cultures.

Sarah also shared insights into her artistic partnership with her husband and bandmate Nenad Radic, highlighting how their shared passion for Roma traditions, combined with European influences, has shaped the distinctive sound of Lolo Lovina. Their collaboration is built on mutual respect, discipline, and a deep love for musical storytelling.

During the conversation, Sarah invited listeners to experience this energy live at “Balkan & Brazilian on the Beaches” next Saturday, 31 January, where **Lolo Lovina will join forces with Brazilian band Beliza for a vibrant cross-cultural celebration of Balkan Romani rhythms and Brazilian grooves—an event that promises joy, movement, and community connection.

The interview was a powerful reminder of why Voices@Alive exists: to amplify meaningful voices, celebrate cultural diversity, and share music that carries history, identity, and heart.
