Olah gipsy music is very distinct from other gipsy styles, mostly because it was kept in the community for a long time. Based on vocals and percussions those non-instrumentalists never meant to entertain other populations until the 8O’s.
Olah Gipsy Allstars is a unique show interpreted by 15 singers, musicians and dancers all issued from this culture and who know each other since their childhood, a story of friendship, and the testimony of the life of Olah Gipsy music.
Some of the best gipsy musicians from Hungary (Romano Drom, Szilvàsi Gipsy Band, Ternipe) where this music grew up, featuring their culture in romanes, from the roots of the genuine style until the contemporary arrangements with the help of archive visuals. A wonderfull way to learn more about gipsy culture, its secrets and wonder!
