[pheona1000]

would it not have been more authentic to have had a Welsh Triple Harp being played in stead of the Concert Harp? No criticism - just an observation.

Beautiful film. Thanks for sharing.

hahahah Indian guys also being Gypsies

[TurrisBlancus]

do they speak cymraeg?

[MrCraiessou]

@MrCraiessou They came from Asia with Tatar invasions.Hundreds of old documents(1300+)have one single ethnic name Tsigans or Cigans.All other names are fake(Roma or Bohemian)The word "traveller"is corect but not etnic.

@seonidh Back in time Gypsie noblemen claimed they are descendants of East Roman Empire princes.few cent.later they said they are Egyptian Pharaos" desc.(Gypsy)Now they claim they are from Indian Rajahs via Byzantine Roman Empire.All lies.They are nomadic tribes from asian desserts.

@Pok8rface this sorin is romanian and has a chip on her shoulder as people get confused with this romania romani confusion. She still hasnt explained why on the roll of the high treasurer of Scotland they made a payment to the king of the rowmanis in 1507 a whole 600 years ago.

[sorin1918]

You prove your ignorance and poor hudgement clearly..gypsie in Romania call themselfs romanian in Italy and Spain,țigan in Romania for the common flok and rrom those that have a particular social status..but i guess it would be too much for you to google a this for yourself!

[seonidh]

I also see your from Romania so it looks like you have a chip on your shoulder. Romanies have been called that fact since the 1500s however you have no evidence to say otherwise. Roma in your country called themselves Kalderesh, Lovara Xoaxari and a host of other tribal names. However the Romanichal of the UK have and d call themselves Romani and its a fact in written sources you just cant explain away. You are wasting your time trying to explain a "strawman" argument. Cite sources.
