JOURNEYS WITH GYPSY MUSICIANS.
BY GARTH CARTWRIGHT
Though this wonderful book was published in 2005, I only recently discovered it.
It reminds me of Latcho Drom, the movie by Tony Gatlif, in that it tells the story of the Romani through their music, and musicians.
Cartwright does an excellent job of presenting the history and reality of the Romani in Europe.
The chapter on Porraimos, the Romani Holocaust, brought me to tears.
I highly recommend this book.
