Skopje / 29/07/09 / 13:29 Esma Redzepova (65), known as queen of Roma music in the Balkans, won a 26.000 euro compensation in a lawsuit against Sacha Baron Kohen. Esma sued the British comedian and the film's producers, seeking 800.000 euros on the ground that the movie "Borat" used her song "Chae Shukarie" without her permission. Esma terminated the cooperation with a Dutch production house because she was displeased with the remuneration. "I demanded 800.000 euros from Sacha, but it turned out that he got permission from my production house to take the song, and I was not notified. The worst thing is that they didn't read the script, thus, the song goes in the movie in scenes mocking the Roma people, the Jews and the Americans," Esma told Serbian Alo, adding that she was disappointed with lack of professionalism of her former partners. "They paid me 26.000 euros for "Chae Shukarie" song, but I got angry and I terminated the contract with them," Esma said.
