My Interests

Art in general, non-western cultures, worldmusic, tribal belly dance, (Indian) gypsies...

I'd like to meet:

People who inspire me on the art level and move my soul. The "soul" is not a thing, but a quality or a dimension of experiencing life and ourselves. It has to do with depth, value, relatedness, heart, and personal substance.

Music:

I am interested in World Music and will change the theme of my page often. This time, the theme is gypsies of India.

Movies:

Tony Gatlif and a small team filmed gypsies from their presumed genesis in India, migrating through Egypt, Turkey, Hungary, Slovakia, France, and Spain, recording daily life and the essential part music and dance play in their lives. Talab Khan Barna is the lead vocalist on several songs in this Indian segment. Quite remarkable.Gypsies of the Thar, sinuous amongst the sand dunes. A Gatlif clip.The Banjara are the ambassadors of the great Banjara tradition which stands at the cross roads of classical North Indian music and the skilful art of Persia, following in the footsteps of the gypsies of Rajasthan.

Television:

Wordcinema."The Gipsy Palace"Featuring Rekha dancing Sayari & Queen Harish in the background Bage, Noore & Murad Khan Razeb and Nathu Lal on percussions

Books:

Themes: spirituality, mythology, philosophy, psychology, astrology, anthropology, sociology, history, women studies, science, art.

Heroes:

People all over the world, from every race and religion, who want to be united in love, for we have one soul.
