Music as an important ‘language’ to pass a message 



Opening up 2012 the Sinti band Tabor released its new album ‘Teli Lichta’ (under the light, in Romani-language). Eleven beautiful tracks , for the first time nearly all sung in Sinti-Romanes, with its text written down and translated into English in the accompanying stylish booklet. Recently, a first proper occasion for a…

I was asked today, "what are you?" when I was talking about Rroma. They said, no no, there are no Romanians here. I said no, I am Rroma. So, I had to explain gypsy.

They told me "you don't look like one, you can't be one". I argue for an hour that my ethnicity is what I say it is.

I am not used to that. In Europe people hate me openly for being prostitute dirty thieving gypsy. Here in US people think I "died out" or don't exist. Or worst still, I am a ... Disney…

Dear friends in Poland,

I have an option to visit Warsaw on 5-14 March (reason: very cheap air-tickets and the desire to travel). Can you suggest me any quality hostel with non-expensive rate and reliable Wi-Fi connection (I am working on-line everywhere).

I am just surfing related websites, but getting confused...

Please advice.

Mr. Valery Novoselsky,

Executive Editor, Roma Virtual Network.…

I am trying to incorporate Rroma into my masters thesis. I want to make it personal but... I don't know how. I feel like no one Rroma is in Masters programs. I don't know who to ask or anything. I feel like I'm going to fail because I can't frame my own story. Does that even make sense? I feel it could be a chance to educate those in my program, my university, my area about Rroma and about our lives. No, we are not indigenous but we are still worthy of respect. We…
