A new documentary about gypsies and their music features Antonio el Pipa and his company
|
This musical journey takes place in the US during the World Music Institute's Gypsy Caravanconcert tour and on location in Spain, Macedonia, Romania and India, starring Macedonian diva and “Queen of the Gypsies” Esma Redzepova; traditional Indian folk troupe Maharaja; Romanian brass band Fanfare Ciocarlia; Romanian superstars of violin wizardry Taraf de Haïdouks, and Spain's Antonio el Pipa Flamenco Company. ”Gypsy Caravan” is an uplifting and moving documentary which explores the real lives of the Roma as we travel to their homes in Macedonia, Romania, India and Spain, meet their families and see what music brings to their lives a link to an ancient culture, a common language, a traditional career all of which is a stark and often painful contrast to life on the road. The personal drama and stories of these characters are interwoven with their performances, reflecting the imagery and emotion of their music. We see love and death and tales of lives that are raw and rich. They make us laugh and cry and laugh again, allowing us to understand and expand on the riches of Romani music and history, and letting us enjoy knowing the people intimately.
