Thanks Sebastian. Looking forward to reading Tribe!

Hey Sebastian, greetings from Toronto. I’ve been following your work, as well as that of Tim (RIP) for several years now, ever since I randomly caught the TV premiere of Restrepo on NatGeo. It’s actually one of my favourite movies and by far the best one on the war in Afghanistan. I still watch it a couple of times a year. Korengal, Which Way Is the Front Line and Last Patrol are also great.

Anyway, on to my question: Why did you choose “Izlel e Delyo Haydutin” as the opening music for Restrepo? I remember it immediately caught my attention when I first watched the movie. I am Bulgarian, so I recognized it right away. It’s fantastic to hear our folklore being appreciated around the world. However, I have wondered for years as to why you guys chose it to open the film. Thanks!
