Gypsies are extremely marginalized in Spain... and yet, they brought these beautiful dance (Flamenco) and songs into spain....We've been always persecuted and marginalized because we have something that they don't have...Thank you Oliver Rajamani for the presentation.

Both points are untrue. Spain has assimilated gypsies better than any other country. This has been widely recognised and praised internationally by the UN. Flamenco wasn't brought to Spain. It evolved in Andalusia from multiple influences centuries ago. It's Spain's national music both in a raw and classical form sung and danced all over the country by young and old gypsy and non gypsy. Some of it's biggest stars like Lola Flores, Paco de Lucia were not gypsies.

It’s honorable that India acknowledges us as a people and I do admire you sympathy, but understand this: we are Roma. Recognizing us as “Indian” isn’t really correct. We are, however, of Indian descent. Roma are a group of people in Europe and Middle East, who faced long persecution and rejection and yet maintain our pride and history. If you regard us as “Indian”, then you might as well call Turkish people Mongolians. I admire India and acknowledge we come from India. Roma are of Indian descent, but we are NOT Indian. We are a group of people with our own culture, the Roma.

If it is something shameful from North they say it is North Indian. They have been desperately trying to establish Tamil Nadu as the cradle of Indian civilization. All the dates around Sangam literature are concocted to support there theories. Whole narrative around Tamil being the oldest language is also fabricated. When basis of calculating age is inscriptions , the Tamil script itself is derived from Brahmi.

About time India recognize it's own lost sons and daughters. They might not be Indians today, but their blood is and India is the country they should be able to call their own because none of the European countries seem interested. India needs to raise the human rights abuses the Roma people suffer with all European countries. The time for India to act is now. Build a relationship with the Roma and accept them. Look at the Roma flag and see how they honor India. India must honor them as well.

And its Really only in the last 20 or so years that we know or roots where in india and thats from others resurch langage and dna confirm it we trace our people to spain and north africa going back almost 500 years my guess is Kurdistan Persia and india before that.

Incredible similarities with the Oppari. It is very well known during funeral ceremonies in Tamil Nath.

I very much appreciate your understanding of this and your efforts to bring these traditions to each other.

I do not consider it as any reaction to being minimized but the pride and power of their own humanity. It is empowering to me to experience it. Thank you

What an incredibly informative talk!

This is brilliant on so many levels. Thank you so much for your talents, for sharing this and helping me understand.

Beautiful dancing. Thank you for sharing. Felt so spiritual

The people, reasons that led to Roma people's exodus from Bharat (India) 1000 years back are still the same threats faced by Hindus today(similar situation has occured in Punjab and Bengali in 1947, 1971, and in Kashmir 7 times, the latest in 1990s) from the same people and it would be great if we stood up to these issues unitedly so when Roma people refuse to acknowledge this fact or the reasons, it only implies that they haven't learned anything from history and therefore in all probability, are doomed to repeat it.

One learns something new everyday!

Romani people have travelled far and wide along middle Asia all the way into Europe from India no doubt,language is proof they came from India. They picked up a lot of musical influences in all the places they have been. The Phrygian scale was used and still is used in Middle Eastern music a lot which is now a popular scale in flamenco music as well. Flamenco is a mix of cultural influence ms Romani culture included. Romani people are different around the world but there is something common between all in their art is the bold passion for self expression, non conformity and freedom! 1/4 Romani here a flamenco dancer and bellydancer interesting documentary.

@ColonelFluffles

Жыл бұрын

I don't think so. Perhaps in some styles. I think most influences they got were from the Andalusians (al-Andalus), Ottomans and Greeks. Gypsy music seems to be very different. I think Gypsy music in general is an accumulation and mix-pot of different styles that the 'indigenous' majority (non-gypsy) would not come up with, because Gypsies would be more open minded to exotic influences, because they were - and still are - diverse themselves. An example is Flamenco. I can hear influences in Flamenco from classical Spanish music as well as north-african and Arabic. There are other influences in Flamenco as well. Let's be honest... Only a gypsy would creat such a melting pot.

@@jerrylouiswiththethickness6403 I personally didn't know the Roma people were present in Al Andalus. But my main point is that actually Gypsy music and the typical sounds of gypsy music are actually very different compared to ancient local styles. So, if you look up Andalusian classical music like that of ibn Bajja or even classical Spanish music like that of the cantigas, it will be very different from what is contemporarily considered as flamenco music or gypsy music. A lot of flamenco music - in my opinion at least - sounds very oriental. The use of phrygian scale contributes to that ofcourse. However if you listen to old music of Spain and al-Andalus, it doesn't really sound oriental. So, my opinion is that the "orientalness" of a lot of flamenco music today must be an influence of the Roma people, who are oriental in origin.

@@jerrylouiswiththethickness6403 Even though Andalusi music definitely has influences from the east, and Ibn Bajja managed to integrate the eastern influences with the local styles, Andalusi music as a whole is not that similar to music in the east, for similar reasons as to why north-west-european classical music is different to eastern music. This is largely due to the use of different scales and the nubah structure instead of maqaam structure like in the east. Basically the musical theory is different. Use of instruments and playstyles differs as well. Actually, the cantigas de santa maria is the closest you'll actually get to Andalusi music. Not only does the cantigas actually contain old Andalusian pieces (like from nubah al istihlal or nubah al Maya), but King Alfons X gathered artists from all over Iberia to participate in making music in his court. This includes Andalusian musicians. Add to that that both musical styles come from Iberia. Hence, the Andalusian influence in the cantigas and the closeness to it. When I say Andalusian music it's not to be confused with the contemporary province of Andalusia in Spain, but rather historical 'islamically' ruled Iberia, which stretched up north to Zaragoza even, where Ibn Bajja was from.
