Roma Music in Research Recordings

Summary/Abstract: This CD review is dedicated to two albums featuring traditional Roma music from the Balkans. The result of applied ethnomusicology, the albums are the work of authoritative researchers of Roma music and include recorded music, photographs and research data from their fieldwork. We are indebted to Dimitrie Golemovic for the album Memoire Tsigane. Serbie/ Romany Musical Heritage. Serbia, (AIMP LXXVІІ. Arhives internationales de musique populaire. Musee d’ethnographie Geneve. VDE-GALLO/CD-1184, 2006), which was published in Switzerland. The album contains traditional Serbian music as performed by professional Roma musicians (men, tambura ensembles, and small groups made up of accordion, violin, guitar and double bass) and traditional songs in Romani (sung by women a cappella). Speranza Radulescu is responsible for the album Romi si tigani din satul Gratia, Teleorman/Roma and Gypsies from the Village of Gratia, Teleorman (Ethnotopie, CD 008, 2004, Bucuresti). It includes performances by Roma musicians from the village of Gratia in the Teleorman region − both Roma (one family’s Roma songs) and Gypsy (professional musicians, or lautari).
