Pynarello
Romani! – An adventurous musical journey
In Romani! we take you on an adventurous musical journey, inspired by the centuries-old routes of the Romani people. The music begins in India, where the roots of Roma culture lie, and travels through the Middle East to Europe. Along the way, this musical current has left a profound mark on the music of the Balkans and beyond—from Romanian folk songs to Gypsy jazz.
“Romani! will be a celebration! I can’t wait to make music with these incredible musicians. One thing’s for sure: it’s going to be exciting, because our three guests do everything differently than we’re used to — they don’t read sheet music and there are no fixed agreements. Making music is simply listening, responding, and playing. And honestly? I think we in Pynarello are in for quite a challenge!”
