Roma diva Věra Bílá sang on many world stages, but her career was destroyed by gambling and debts

At the start of her career, Věra Bílá soared on the wings of her incredible talent. She sold out concert halls all over the world; in France she won the award for Best Album of the Year in the world music category for her debut album Rom-Pop.

Newspapers such as The Guardian and Libération described her as an extraordinary talent and did not spare words such as “star” or “diva”. At a private concert in the White House, she sang for Bill Clinton and sold out concert halls such as the Olympia in Paris.
