  Dear Silja,

  Thank You for the great article and interview with Dragan Ristic, Roma Activist, Funder of Amala School, Artist, Leader and funder amomg he.s brother Dusan who is my Best Friend, Best Men (KUM),Teacher and most of it a GREAT HUMAN .
  Yes!! Human/Person, is a form of interpratation of Rroma, people who left...and we know that we left India over 1000 years ago.

  Dragan speaks not only for him self but for Me and for many of us Roma worldwide.

  The Music of the Roma has a centuries long history, tradition and culture and today is a important roll and is often the main tool in Education invalving our Romani Culture.

  We at Voice of Roma (www.voiceofroma.com) a noneprofit organizatin in California have a program that is focused on education and promoting the Romani Music and Artists.
  As part of this program we will tour Kal for the first time in the US this fall.
  In the past we worked with Esma Redzepova, Yuri Yunakov, Boban Markovic.

  Kal is a dinamic true world music group who combines the words, rytham and beats of all form of music from India, Middle East, Spain, South America, combining traditional, jazzi, dancable, soulfull music.

  Baxhtale,
  Julia
