The Romani singer Ruža Nikolić-Lakatos passed away yesterday at the age of 77. May she rest in peace.
Born in Hungary in 1945, she grew up in a traditional and musical Lovara family who traded horses. Her musical talent was evident from early on. When she was 11, her family moved to Austria due to the 1956 Hungarian Uprising. There she met her husband Mišo Nikolić and had her first public appearance on the initiative of the music ethnologist Ursula Hemetek. She then founded the band “Ruža Nikolić-Lakatos and The Gypsy Family” with her husband and sons and gained international fame. Passing on the song tradition to younger generations was particularly important to her. It is thanks to her that the songs of the Lovara in Austria were recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2011.

Racism against Sinti and Roma has a long tradition in Germany – including in science. So far, it has drawn a stereotypical picture. Now researchers who belong to the minority want to contribute their own perspective.
