I’ve seen a lot of gypsy music live, and I always love it. Just last night I danced until the wee hours of morning in café Le Vagabond, but already I have forgotten the name of the band.
So I’d like to hear suggestions!
I’m learning Romanian, and would really love to have some good Romanian music to sing along to, to help me learn. I know Maria Tanase, and that’s folk, not gypsy. So you get bonus points if it’s Romanian, and bonus bonus points if you have a youtube vid with lyrics for me. Anyone mentioning Dragostea din tei will be kneecapped through their wifi.
But really, I’d just love to have suggestions of any great gypsy music, or similar folk music. Lots of violins and accordions. Preferably some good moustaches. Danceable is good, but melancholy love songs are also very welcome. Old and new. Hipsters will get a pass only if they’re very good.
Nb: I don’t want to offend with the word “gypsy”, it’s simply what the music has been called whenever I’ve heard it performed. I am aware that many travellers are Roma, that many are not, etc.
