Synopsis

“To be a musi­cian is a great thing. Being a musi­cian is not sim­ply play­ing music. When play­ing for oth­ers , you have to be happy if you want to give hap­pi­ness, if you want to lead the dance…” San­dor, Gypsy musi­cian from Tran­syl­va­nia. They are Roman­ian gyp­sies, pro­fes­sional musi­cians, peas­ants and work­ers. This film is a jour­ney to the heart of their cul­ture, their music, wed­dings and cabarets.

Gypsy Music of Roma­nia cap­tures the most intense moments in a musician’s life as we dis­cover the depths of this folk music. This film invites you to meet today’s great­est per­former of this pop­u­lar music.
