Nadia dances like an Egyptian queen and
Napoléon accompanies her on two small
drums. Here are the songs of the Hungarian Rom,
in which the body and especially the mouth are
transformed into actual musical instruments,
producing singular onomatopoeic polyrhythms.
The Lautari, professional Gypsy musicians,
spread through cities and countrysides the refined
quality and virtuosity of an art that has become
enriched over the course of each journey through
each region, from Valacchia to the outskirts of
Bucharest. The brutal beauty of Romanian Gypsy
music provides the basis for an art that is at once
classical and folk.
