Ljiljana Buttler (December 14, 1944 to April 26, 2010) was a singer born in former Yugoslavia. Her nickname was The Mother of Gypsy Soul.
Buttler, born in Belgrade, known also as Ljiljana Petrović was the daughter of a Croatian singer and a Gypsy accordionist. Her father left the family shortly after the birth of his daughter. She moved to the town of Bijeljina, where her mother performed in pubs. As a teenager she began singing , she returned to Belgrade where she settled in the entertainment district Skadarlija. In the seventies she broke through in Yugoslavia as a singer and she released several successful albums. During the eighties success was slowed. Because of political unrest and the threat of a Balkan war in 1989., she moved to Dusseldorf in Germany. She ended her singing career, married a German and has worked as a cleaning lady.
The Amsterdam-based Bosnian music producer Dragi Šestić started shortly after the millennium, a quest for the 'disappeared' singer and knew around 2001 to find her out. He convinced her to make a new album for his Snail Records in 2002 and brought with her and Mostar Sevdah Reunion, the Bosnian band -"The Mother Of Gypsy Soul".
In 2005, "The Legends of Life" was released.
This group gave from 2003 concert series, particularly in Europe. The music of the group is a mix of gypsy and Balkan music, jazz and sevdah.
Her latest album "Frozen Roses" was released in 2009.
Buttler died in 2010 of cancer in her hometown of Düsseldorf.
