Dos Lunares begins it’s film series on Saturday, January 20th with the documentary The Romany Trail Part One: Gypsy Music into Africa. A precursor to the popular film Latcho Drom, this documentary follows the historical journey of the Roma as they moved through India, North Africa and into Spain. In the various countries where they’ve settled, Gypsies have created lasting art forms through music and dance by meshing their distinctive Gypsy style with native traditions. This excellent documentary contains rare footage of Roma performers as well as interviews with locals, scholars and artists. This is part one of the series, part two to be shown at a future date. Light refreshments will be served.
Please join us for our inaugural screening!
