With him, some of the traditional Romani music from Russia also passed away. From a Servi family from Saratov, he moved to Moscow where he played for a long time in the Theatre Romen. He was internationally known with tours in the US, but mostly for his participation in Madonna\u2019s Sweet and Sticky tour which saw Madonna sing in Romanes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">May
