This is one of the the roots of Spanish Flamenco. The DNA reveals that the gypsies of Spain came from Rajasthan India. This is the birthplace of Flamenco
I'm not Indian but I went there... I do intend to return one day. But for your first visit, better plan on making it 10 days or less... You'll thank me later.
@@Noyon-kd3inwait you know exactly where his ancestors came from, plus you know he has the ability/authority to take the items in question to return them? Fascinating
i am macedonian gypsy and this is amezing song ;; whata talent voice ,; and dance ;; i will never shame of my self ;; EVERY ONE KNOWS we start from there ;;
Here in Bharath aka India these Banjaras, Lambadis, Kuravanjis, Gaduliya Lohars etc. etc. ( there are many more Gypsy, Romany, tribes and communities with different names) are one of us. If their wandering ways are different from ours, our entrenched and acquisitive ways are different from theirs. We get along fine as, for us, ‘sameness’ or lack of difference rebels against natural laws and spells stagnation and death of a civilization. Each tribe is a master at one skill or trade. Even now we wait for the annual visit of the Kuravanjis to our house to buy our annual supply of forest and wild herbs from them, as well as get help from their traditional knowledge to cure ills and aches and pains. No school annual programme is complete without the children doing a “Kuratthi Aatam” or one of their dances on stage. The consort of one of the principal deities we worship, Subramanya or Murugan, a son of Shiva and Paarvathi, is the daughter of the headman of the Kuravanjis. Her name is Valli and there are temples and festivals dedicated to Her. But today the expansion of universalized urbanization is a threat to their existence as much as it is to us, and to our ancient and living civilization.
@@chandraravikumar However, from a European point of view, I see that individual people and groups are fighting very hard for tribes and their traditions to survive in the urbanized environment just as it has been working for thousands of years, and this struggle is proving to be successful because you are able to make compromises, with consideration and respect keeping the interests and values of individual, tribal and urban people and groups. I think this is what makes India so unique, and it contributes very deeply to both regional and federal economic development, not to mention cultural upliftment.
If you want to be even more proud of our gypsy roots and get the best image of how our ancestors danced while we were still in India, then I recommend you watch the video *Tips official choli ke peeche kya hai*
I miss home. It makes me feel so nostalgiac. I am from Rajasthan, and grew up around these Banjara communities. They are so fascinating with their art, craftsmanship, dance and music (the heart of Rajasthani folk music).
@@Rerp2000Get educated instead of assuming. Let me see- Jews, Greeks, huns, Syrian christian refugees in 4th Ad, Zorostrian refugees, Turks, Turkik, mongolians, other middle eastern people, Africans, then Portuguese, dutch, french, brits.. lists goes on and on. Some came as traders, some as refugees of religious persecution, some looking for fortune... Even now we get a large number of refugees as well as illegal immigrants from neighbouring countries..
We're legally Egyptian- Gypsies in numerous European countries internal legal systems because that's how our ancestors first presented themselves as in Europe during the Middle Ages. x
Have native South American ancestry from Colombia but my love has always been of India. Have been there 5 times and always learn so much. Life is too short to waste on trivial things.
They came from north western india, there were no states back then. The gypsy or as we indians call them banjaras are a very small ethnic minority in india not even forming 0.2 of all of india's population due to historical persecution.
The faraway take of the lonely tree in the middle of a desert with a beautifully adorned young lady dancing is simply breathtaking. It takes you away from your daily working life to a much simpler form of life.....hauntingly beautiful imagery.
Bollywood never really shows the the true nature of many ethnic dances of India, especially Gujrati, except for Aishwarya Rai in hum Dil de chuke Sanam
The innocence and honesty in their faces is as beautiful as their song and dance. This brought tears to my eyes.😢 Also love the environment they were dancing/singing in.❤❤❤❤🙏
i stumbled upon this clip accidently and gosh thats breath-taking. i dont understand a word of what the boy was singing but i am sure its something hauntingly beautiful just as his voice is. And the girls dance is absolutely magical!
Hatred towards Gypsies is unfounded and the people who hate them are blind to the problems they have faced over the past millennia... Enchanting and charismatic people. Beautiful video too.
People don`t like them because they have a tendency towards taking advantage of btoh people AND THE LAW: Gypsies in my community can afford to live in relative comfort but no, they have to indulge in criminal transactions because apparently that big is their love for coin
rajput kanwar Oh dear what a shame you have this attitude. I agree that many in Europe who call themselves gypsy are not but the true European Roma are as indian as the Himalayas !
steviealessi Well you kinda have a falacy there. What makes a "true gypsy" different from low-life and reviled gypsies everyone despises? Because in my city they dress like gypsies, they live like gypsies, they uphold their gypsy traditions and ALSO behave like immoral criminals. I´m not saying all gypsies are criminals, but they have (and give) a hard time when it comes to interacting towards the gaje (non-gypsies)
Yes yes. I don’t understand why some Roma don’t like India and like to associate themselves to Israel? You can see the face of most Roma’s that they are of Indian descent.
@@rathod0mkar yes they are the same. Romani people can also be mixed because of marrige with the people of the country they live in. Im a mix. My dad is 100% romani my mom is 100% norwegian.
Im Norwegian born and become even more proud of my romani gipsy roots when i see this❤ Romani may have migrated from what is the modern Indian state of Rajasthan, migrating to the northwest (the Punjab region of the Indian subcontinent) around ...
They're so mesmerising aren't they!! You should check out the masqueraders of Senegal and Gambia. Search 'Kumpo dance'. The girating looks like CGI or something. It's so cool. I love how the girls dress makes it even more magical
@@heyromale777 вы цыгане себя унижаете тем, что нигде не работаете, торгуете наркотиками и устраиваете скандалы. К этому видео цыгане не имеют никакого отношения.
@@heyromale777 судя по всему Вы цыган, скажите, какая у вас профессия? Вы на заводе работаете? Может быть вы учитель? Учёный? Военный? Вы кем трудитесь?
two years ago... i spend some weeks working as a photographer with the local adhivasi of south-rajasthan..... it was one of the most intense experiences in my life...to follow them at there daily life, watching them dance, listening there songs, making friendship and ...... amazing clip!! it's bringing back so many memories!! :-)
Dancer is magnificent and the little singer and even his expression is beyond description...I am so proud and fortune to be indian..we have so rich and diverse culture
That beautiful smile at the end, priceless! Wonder if she still dancing as fierce these 15 years later? Hope she’s still got her beautiful, genuine smile. And the young boy, hopefully his voice still sounds so free!
Beautiful! Some of my ancestors were Rathores of Jodhpur, Rajahstan, most of my family reside in Kashmir and Pakistan now, this gives me an insight into my ancestors past, their music, their culture, its just amazing!
I am native of this land(desert part)Rajasthan, the area west to aravali mountain ranges is arid and that's exactly the place where we have these kalbIlia gypsy people...they sing and dance besides they are snake charmers and healers.nomads who earn living by these things only.. they all are jogi people of nathpanti traditions...I just love their performances whenever during my childhood they came to perform at my native home in village. ❤
oh! she is too good...these deep twirls are hard to do so repetitively. the young boy singer is excellent' and the little one in yellow outfit will soon be a killer dancer!.i love rajasthani culture and costumes. such a joy to watch...have seen this video 5 times consecutively.would like to find this girl and adopt her, i don't have a daughter!
+Katie Macormic sorry about the late response. this a dance of the gypsies called 'ghoomar' that originated centuries ago in deserts of 'rajasthan' ....a province in north western india.. numerous forms of it exist thru out europe brought there by these nomadic people. you will find many listings of it right here on y\t...click on any link to the right....and, enjoy!
This is incredibly beautiful. I am always fascinated to see how culturally rich and diverse is my motherland India. This dance might not feature in India's 8 classical dance forms but this is equally beautiful. Hope this dance form is also performed on stage more often.
I love the girating spins. I'm glad Flamenco kept that. I know it's not even close to the same but check out 'Kumpo dance'. They are masqueraders dressed as the Kumpo spirit in some of the West African countries like Senegal, Gambia etc. They do this grating move as well and I'm ALWAYS mesmerised just lkke when the little girl did it. Much love 💖💖
@@321girlwantstohavefun you do know this dance gave birth to flamenco right? Romani people from same community of india had to move to West and dispersed in Europe. In Spain flamenco was born out of this ethnic dance and mix of native culture.
Looking at her dance moves and knowing that gypsies originally came from Rajasthan, it makes me wonder if this is the type of dance that flamenco was derived from. Notice the movement of her hands (like flamenco hand movements) and the way she spins at 1:00.
Maravillosa cultura milenaria , ojalá nunca se pierda ..... En México se están tratando de recuperar nuestras culturas ancestrales , ya que se estában perdiendo por la fuerte influencia de nuestro vecino de EUA
This is a scene from Tony Gatlif’s film ‘Latcho Drom’ (Safe Journey) a documentary that charts the journey of gypsies in songs & dance, from Rajasthan to Spain. My favourite film.
I don't understand what he's singing about, but his tone is very sweet and melodious. Dance of girl💃 with beautiful postures with happiness is excellent.
it’s so trippy thinking 1000 years ago, my dads ancestors came from Rajasthan to England. My dad can pass as Indian but I look white as hell. it doesn’t feel too far removed now. Romanichal dance and culture is just as rugged, pure and humble.
Modern Indians whenever they have white partners the kids basically end up looking like white kids. You do this for a couple generations and all of a sudden the Indian aspect of their appearance disappears completely. The same thing happened to Ashkenazi Jews when they went to Europe. They mixed with the local Germans and now look white.
Amazing . The dance is too very nice and so is the young male singer's voice . He is singing with the confidence that only adult males can hv . If I am not mistaken the dancer and singer are both from the raabaadi community of Rajasthan . They fall in the semi tribal category of indigenous people of India .
So lovely. I hope European gypsies go to India and see this beauty. Indians haven't forgotten you and your struggle in Europe and wanna reconnect with you. You will always be blood to Indians. Russians and all Slavs have some nerve, claiming to be Indophiles when they hate and mistreat gypsies in Europe. They abuse them and mistreat the gypsies, who're a lovely and wonderful people. Russians, Poles, Czechs and other Slavs need to stop claiming India's Aryans too if they mistreat the gypsies, who're the real present-day Aryans, for they raise livestock, ride horses and have a beautiful culture of music, dance and are warlike. May they always have peace and love in their lives. Indians love them and support them all the way. They need to reconnect with India and disassociate themselves from Slavs.
Поразительно! Как развит у этой девушки вестибюлярный аппарат; после таких вращений не пошатнувшись ни разу танцует дальше. Прекрасная, чарующая, полная загадок Индия; будь счастлива, юная танцовщица!
The history of Roma diaspora is heartbreaking, but it also carries all the beauty of post-traumatic growth in that music and dance unite literally half of the world from India to Spain... ❤
The Banjara and Kalbeliya tribe of Rajasthan, India. They are honoured and featured in the song 'Baje Sargam'(set in Desh Raag), which was a joint collaboration by various renowned Indian artists, Like Seva Sanchar and Suresh Mallik, commissioned by Rajiv Gandhi.
Absolutely beautiful! As a matter of fact, the languages of the Rajasthan and the Eastern-European Roma people do share some linguistic traits. For examples, the word "pani" is used in both languages and it means "water."
The Gypsies are not a perfect society (as some people here have already pointed out) but they can and do produce some incredible music and dancing. What started here in India moved west and produced classic flamenco dancing and the music of Django Rheinhart...and really, this is just incredible!
El balile flamenco no lo produjeron los gitanos, es baile y cante oriundo de Andalucia España lo del video precioso por cierto nada tiene que ver con el flamenco
Please tell me where a ‘perfect society’ exists. Gypsies are treated with suspicion and blamed for all of societies flaws because the are a minority, because they live an unconventional life and because they’re nomadic. We’re the ones that are imperfect enslaved by a rigid hierarchical society.
@@josefernandez4308This is not the only community from India that migrated as gypsies. There was two different waves. The other one took the influence of Kathak dance with them. You should look up performamces of Kathak and Flamenco together, there are many. Flamenco might have originated from Andalusia, but it originated from people of Andalusia who were Romani. Just because they were in Andalusia doesn't mean the dance they do when there will be devoid of their cultural influence
I bellydance and have never seen a turn like that . I am going to try to practice it. It is fantastic looking. when I belly dance I try to look like a gypsie. I have gypsie descent and I love the way they dance.
In mumbai we are used to the fast pace of life...it was refreshing to see something like this.Sadly,no one practices this kind of traditional dance in Mumbai...many people living in big cities like Mumbai would pay to see this kind of dance on a professional stage
I'm so happy to see everyone appreciating cultures of Rajasthan (india) ❤❤ my homeland I'm from jaipur Rajasthan happy to see my culture represented well
Amazing. I keep coming back to this video to see it again and again. Both the singing boy and dancing girl are beautiful- Wow! Our hectic modern lives and disconnection are a far cry from the natural, innate beauty and consciousness of the lives of these people. I envy them.Just look at the happiness in their faces. I write this on my fancy iPad, in my silly big house with thousands of unnecessary accumulations that are meaningless
I’m amazed at this dancer’s spotting skills. I study different dances than this one, but I’ve been working on spins and spotting for about 10 years and am still not as good as her. She spun for two and a half minutes, not just straight up, but also _sideways_ . I’d have been on the floor after the first three turns like that.
Возможно, они одна семья - танцовщица сестра и младший братишка музыкант. Они воспевают жизнь, они танцуют жизнь, они органичны в этих песках и голубом небе. Они бесподобны ❤
Dear Roma people, if you know the heartbreaking story of how your ancestors were driven out in an exodus during Islamic invasions, you'd be torn apart emotionally. So many thousands of North West Indians died along the way as they passed th mountains of Hindu Kush in Afghanistan . The name "Hindu Kush" literally translates to "Death/Killing of Hindus" .The rest travelled to Persia, Middle East, North Africa and from there to Europe and finally to America.
They just couldn’t handle the altitude and cold temperatures like the Afghans could. It was unfortunately to bring slaves back but this is not “Islamic”- you can’t have slaves (it’s written in the Quran) don’t equate the corruption of man to Islam. We don’t say all Hindus are bad for killing my Kashmiri brothers and sisters in India 🤷🏻♀️ (im Kashmiri)
@@rkay4998 It happened during Turkik invasions and there were conversions involved along with destruction of temples. It's not to say that all Muslims or Quran fundamentally asks for that, but these invasions were of the nature of religious wars.
@@rkay4998 And yes they died due to cold temperatures, but they were "driven" out in an exodus and that is what I'm talking about. It happened over 1000 years ago and it was several waves of migration all due to Sultans carrying artisans,dancers, artists, blacksmiths,etc as Slaves and entertainers. Another wave of migration was of Rajput warriors and women who escaped mass conversions and rapes during the invasion in which Prithviraj Chauhan lost. And as far as Kashmir is concerned, let's not even go there. If we start about the declining number of Kashmiri Hindus over the years and their ethnic cleansing over the years!
@@dreamerachiever2718 Me a Muslim Kashmiri looking at your comment like: 😭 I’ve literally lost family and friends so “let’s not even go there” don’t speak about me or my people or the struggles that the Muslim side has gone to through because of being treated unfair by Indian gov and Pandit Kashmiris
@Anubhav it doesn’t... but keep telling yourself lies 😂 read the holy book yourself before judging. Doesn’t Hinduism preach peace as well? Yet you guys are some of the most rude, corrupt people I’ve ever met
