CORDA’s “The Story of Romani Music” is a project presenting the history and evolution of Romani music from the 17th century to the present day. Guitarist Pavel Jany, together with cellist Jacqueline Ultan (occasionally joined by special guests), traces various styles of Romani music across the European continent (from Spain and southern France to the Czech Republic, Poland and Ukraine) and demonstrates its strong characteristics and profound influences on other musical styles (including European classical music and American jazz) around the world.
In this exciting, energetic and interactive program, students learn about the history and evolution of Romani music, and about a variety of musical instruments played by the Romani musicians in various regions across Europe and around the world. Students also learn about the rich Romani culture, about the history and traditions of Romani people, and about their lifestyle that significantly varies from country to country in Europe and worldwide.
