During the Saturday concert at the Prague Jazz Dock, on the occasion of the celebrations of the International Roma Day, the singer, actress and presenter Alžbeta Ferencová, known by her stage name Zea, performed. In an exclusive interview for the first Roma internet television, ROMEA TV, she shared her impressions of the concert and her personal relationship to the celebrations of the Roma identity.

During the evening, Zea sang her own compositions as well as traditional Roma songs that have a deeper meaning for her. She sings in English, Slovak and Romani – each language has a different charm for her. “The most natural thing for me is to sing in English. But with Slovak and Romani, I see that people understand it more, it is more personal,” said the artist. However, she admits that writing lyrics in Slovak gives her more work: “I want the text to have a nice meaning, I don’t want anything quick and easy. I am not that good a lyricist, I have to admit that.”
