A big day

Tomorrow is the big day for our first Roma mini-festival.


Everything is pretty much set and again the program
will
be four Dance Troupes. Three from towns and
cities named
... Santana, Pescka and Semlac.

There will also be a traditional Roma band consisting
of
eight musicians and singers.

As mentioned in a prior post it will be the first such
event
of it's type in this town. It is a smallstart. The hope that it will be the beginning and base
of experience for more yearly festivals of it's type.
Despite
the fact that the festival hasn't taken place
yet there is discussion as to expanding it next
year.


I almost forgot to mention that the festival was
given a
name ... in the Romanian language it is ...

Inima de Tigan - 2008

actually the word 'Tigan' wouldn't be considered a
politically
correct word but it is what they used.

'Inima de Tigan' is translated into ...

Heart of the Gypsy
or The Gypsy Heart.

There is a plan to have someone video the event
and if it is
possible to receive a copy, I'll place a
link so
that you'll be able to see some of it.
