Hungarian Gypsy Music

The quintessentially Spanish flamenco is to a very large extent the music (and dance, or indeed the culture) of the Romani people of Andalusia. Apart from Romani music for local use, in Eastern Europe a separate Romani music originated for entertainment at parties and celebrations. This music drew its themes from Hungarian, Romanian, Russian and other sources. Later on it gained popularity in Western Europe, where many Romani orchestras were active, playing sophisticated melodies of East European origin. Most Romani music is based on the folk music of the countries where the Romani went through or settled. Local music is adopted and performed – usually instrumental – and, slowly, it is transformed into Romani styles, which are usually more complex than the original styles. In its turn, Romani music has greatly influenced the local music.

Traditional forms of music are considered carriers of cultural heritage because they represent expressions and traditions transferred through generations of a community.

My husband is Hungarian. We lived for a small time in a shared house with Hungarians and Hungarian gypsies. It was a great experience. We cooked, ate, and danced in the udvar.

I am Mexican. I was with my gipsy Hungarian partner and we loved each other under a gipsy love. It ended because it was not possible to make a life together... He will remain in my heart as the very lovely memory. I will always love Gipsy people and culture. Always. God bless cigany.
