The Romani people (widely known among English-speaking people by the exonym Gypsies) are a traditionally nomadic ethnic group, originating from the Northern India. They are a dispersed people, living mostly in Europe and the Americas. Their life is full of danger, uncertainty and romanticism. These people’s hearts are full of different and strong emotions. Famous Russian gypsy singer Nicolay Slichenko once said: «A gypsy’s joy is the ultimate joy and a gypsy’s desperation is the ultimate desperation». And that’s true. That’s why the gypsy traditional music is also full of joy and desperation at the same time.
