Marcela, Roma Culture Comes to Balattou

Interview by Sandra Gasana
Genres and styles : Gypsy Jazz

Additional Information

A Gypsy of Kalderash origin, Marcela Cisarova trained in dance and song at the Romathan school in Slovakia, the only public theater founded by Europe’s Roma community. In France, she collaborated with choreographer Petia Iourtchenko, later joining her troupe, Romano Atmo. She then co-founded the Terne Roma company, dedicated to promoting Gypsy dance. In 2014, her meeting with guitarist Benny was the trigger for her solo career, MARCELA. She will be at Balattou this Saturday, August 31, to plunge us into the world of the Gypsies, whose Indian origins have gradually hybridized with other cultures encountered over centuries of transhumance. Sandra Gasana interviewed Marcela for PAN M 360.
