Nane Mande Rodo - Piroska Racz and Eugene Hutz

April 8 is here! The Internation Day of Romany nation! Yes, yes, Sometimes they still call them Gypsies. Did you know? Without a country of their own for centuries they manage to preserve their astounding ways and culture dispite discrimination and genocide. Oh what a such a perfect day to reinforce spring powers of renewal with a shout out to the Romanys, the Roma, The Gypsies, the great maveriks of resiliance. So lets get it . Te aven Baxtale, Romale! Latcho Romano Dives! Maximum respect and But Pakiv! ✊🏼🔥 To Celebrate the source of our inspiration , Аuthentic Romany music, here is for you two oldie gypsy songs . Both are composed by Romanys of Ukraine and Russia and passed from one gypsy bonfire to another for over a 100 years. The First one «Nane mande rodo” ( “I aint got family or flock”) is a heavy lament of displacement and dispossesion , the second one is “Tu Balval ! “ ( “Hey there , you Wind ! “ ) is a bonfire stomper to disperse the former.
