[kohlims]

very pretty..but you've lost one of the best aspects of these people..the amazing an vibrant colors of their clothes nd accessories..by changing this to a sepia tone

[PetulaGuimaraes]

It is amazing to see how many cultures are alike! in the way they sing, they drum and dance! :) we are all brothers and sisters deep down

[gcahn2]

The drumming, singing, and dancing in this video is joyous!

Latcho Drom is one of my favourite movies- no dialogue in it, but oh what a story it tells, a story which travels half way round the world - all through the music and dance of the Gypsies

[GodsReapingWarrior]

I enjoyed this very much ;-)

Thank you for sharing RehmanOfMultan.

[lluviosomo]

[latoyakent1]

i hav ben looking for this video for over 15 years. it's part of a beautiful movie that goes cross the middle east and takes you into a world of music and dance!

[RehmanOfMultan]

@latoyakent1 Indeed you are right! Its "latcho drom," it deals with various gypsy cultures world wide.

[GipsyKingsOfficial]

that's not gypsy at all, we gypsies speak romanes, and that i think is indian,

[RehmanOfMultan]

@GipsyKingsOfficial It is gypsy. From the desert in Pakistan & India. I dont know what language this is though, its not Romani. All gypsies do not speak Romani.

[RehmanOfMultan]

@GipsyKingsOfficial By the way you guys are one of my most favourite groups. Thanks for stopping by!

[kia3025]

@GipsyKingsOfficial where do you think the romani originally came from..? India.

[barlekha1971]

@GipsyKingsOfficial Gypsy means Nomad and these are nomadic people of India not the 'scumbag thieves of Romania or Hungary etc!

[davekeays]

@barlekha1971 I've read that the migration patterns have shown they are directly related. I believe the tribes from Sindhi (a river in India) split into two; one showing up in Morocco and the other in Romania.

[ruqaiyyabano]

@barlekha1971 speak ROMANI meaning in "gypsy's " language, we gypsy do not call ourselves gypsys ,it is an englissh word , but we do call ourselves "roma" thats why our language is romani,ok?

[markotdb1125]

@GipsyKingsOfficial All this shows is the evolution of a people in different ways but having a same source from one thousand years ago. That love of music & dance is the common denominator...

[DontPublicMe]

@GipsyKingsOfficial

Yes, it is an Indian language, and Romanes dialects grew out of an Indian language. It had been the similarities between Romanes and Indian languages that pointed to your Indian origins

But of course the people in this video are very different to Roma people, because this IS India, a looted and impoverished India, thanks to the British. Had it not been for British theft, these people would have had better tools, better carts, nicer clothes etc.

[Jutt4Life]

@GipsyKingsOfficial there is no such thing as "Indian". These gypsies are likely speaking "Banjari" which is one of the languages spoken by gypsies in the deserts of Northern India and Pakistan. Romani is quite an interesting language since it still uses the classical North Indian past/present and concord markers which the modern Indian languages have morphed out of. So the Romani language is in essence a historic original version of today's morphed and changed Indian languages!

Muito interessante! Obrigada por compartilhar.

I wished my life could be like that. Live anywhere my horse takes me with my group of people, somewhere far from civilization. Just dance by day, dance by the moon light, sing, sing, explore, feel the cleaner winds, live outdoor and anywhere, or under a tree or up in a tree. I just want to live life in a different way. I don't like civilization, but I am stuck for now. Amazing culture, amazing dancer.

[RehmanOfMultan]

@Scorpiusgrl :) I hear you.

[biGpoppapimp1]

@Scorpiusgrl

absolutely...all the hustle and bustle of making money and paying bills and all the shallow people in it just makes me feel ill sometimes. Eating food out there would be fresh and organic. Seeing the beauty of the earth and all its textures, nature and the mystique would be just mind blowing.

[cazza3013]

wow loved every minute of this clip

[RehmanOfMultan]

@cazza3013 Thanks, glad you liked it :)

[samhero11]

This is an extract from the film : Latcho Drom by Tony Gatlif. Gatlif spent 1992 and 1993 shooting Latcho Drom, which was awarded numerous prizes. This feature-length musical film, often mislabelled as a documentary, deals with gypsy culture throughout the world around the theme of their music and dance.

[RehmanOfMultan]
