 The Romany Trail Pt 1 Gypsy Music into Africa
|
 Latcho Drom
This magical, enticing film offers a musical and choreographic vision of the Gypsies' trek from their original home in India, through the Middle East, to Eastern and Central Europe. Filmmaker Tony Gatlif -- who himself has Gypsy blood -- captures his people's ever-changing culture. In each new country where the Gypsies settled, their songs, dances and costume absorbed elements of local traditions; thus, there are Indian drums, Oriental belly-dancing, Hungarian violins and Spanish guitars. Yet throughout the centuries, certain things remained, including the rich, rough sound of Gypsy singing and a clear passion for complex rhythms. Though "Latcho Drom" ("have a safe journey" in Romany) has no narration, song lyrics speak poignantly of the Gypsies' tragic history of oppression and violence -- including their victimization by the Nazis during World War II. |
 Secret Egypt
Gabrielle Roth narrates this tour through modern Egypt, subtitled "a trance journey to the heart and soul of the Egyptian people." This program examines the melding of ancient cultures in Egypt and the contemporary importance of ritual. |
