The city invites the inhabitants of Lublin to a concert of Roma music. The event organized as part of the “Day of Roma Culture” will take place on September 4 at the Filharmonia im. Henryk Wieniawski in Lublin.
Adriana Dráfiová alias Gitáná, became famous years ago in the Talentmánia talent competition. Since then, she has collaborated with famous names of the contemporary music scene, such as Jan Bendig, or the Slovak rapper Kali. In the past, she sang for, for example, Tina Turner, David Copperfield or top model Claudia Schiffer. She says that “I think I was able to break through in different genres and styles, that’s why my music appealed to the majority. Moreover, my Romanes is perceived as a completely different language. One of my songs is played at non-Roma events, on the radio, and I’m really proud that it caught on. People in it do not know the Romani language at all, and I am happy that with this form of Romani I can bring both cultures closer together.”
However, she admits that her best and favourite language is Hungarian.
A new centre for Roma opened ibn the Serbian city of Pirot.
In his speech, the mayor of Pirot, Mr. Vladan Vasić, M.Sc., thanked the Ministry for Human and Minority Rights, the Council of Europe and everyone who participated in the renovation of this building. – I also thank the many Roma organizations that will find a place here for their cultural, educational, and children’s activities. I hope that as many people as possible will use this facility – said Mayor Vasić.
