Tsigani

This slideshow was created by my photographs, taken in December 1995 in Romania and combined with their music. Gypsies live in a diaspora culture that blends their rich origins from ancient times in India as artists for Rajahs with that cultures, which they find wherever they settle. Led by my emotions and what I witnessed in front of my eyes I focused on the difference between the gifted musicians, which have even in difficult circumstances a strong gulp of joy and happiness, - and those unfortunates without any valuable aptitude.
