Summer evening rooftop jams 🌞❤️
We've been pretty quiet lately, but when you find yourselves entrenched in the creative chaos that is the workshop, it's impossible not be inspired...and overstimulated.
Here's a popular botoló (stick dance), 'Szode Seja'

Hello, lovelies!
Here's a new video for you! 'O Bijav' (The Wedding) by Ternipe
Thank you, Martin, for the suggestion 😉
If any of you folks want to request a song, let us know, and we'll see what we can do!
❤️
The Wedding
We’ll tell the truth
How the gypsies live in the world
They roam the villages
They trade with people
That’s how they make lots of money
That’s how they live in the world
If it goes well for the romanies
They make a wedding for their daughter
If you open the door
You would see how the wedding guests are coming
They are boys bringing wine in bottles
Let’s celebrate, let’s sing
So our little bride can dance
The time has come
The wedding will be beautiful
We’ll sing, we’ll dance
We’ll make a proper wedding
You belong to us, you belong to us, you are ours
Smallest daughter, when you dance for us
You make us so happy
May God bless you
When you dance kindly for the wedding guests
Relaxing on the beach while taking another swing at the Ando Drom classic, 'Keren Chave'
We hope you're all staying safe and happy!
Just enjoying this lovely day, strolling and playing one of our favourites, "Mori Shej, Szabina." Written in 1990 by József Balogh (Kalyi Jag, EtnoRom) for his daughter.
Special thanks to Chris's own daughter who not only filmed this, but was the recipient of this lullaby for the first couple years of her life :)
