Romani
At everybody’s Reach | Music & Revolution | Forbidden Songs
A people with a race defends its cultural identity – and that of the gypsy population is unshakable, involves visceral relationships. This fibre takes the stage in a show where music, dance, parties and religiousness express an ethnicity proud of its roots, ravishing in the way of celebrating life and death. In this collective creation that above all aims to dignify a distinct culture, the Romani language claims its part of Portugal.
