Parne Gadje - De X, Leiden 29/5






Parne Gadje, meaning something like pale gypsies in the Roma language.
If you like Tom Waits' way of using self-invented instruments and around the house sounds, wait till you hear this and you will travel and revel !!!!!
They've made a beautiful CD with poet Gunther Abdula, called Bizoagor, to collect money to develop and print schoolbooks for Roma children in eastern europe. All the poetry is translated in english in the tasteful CDcoverpackage with the Roma symbol,the wagonwheel ,'in the sky'.
Money well spent and the music and poetry are an even greater gift in return......
