Multi Kulti Pandora’s Vase Vol 11

Posted on by

Volume 11! It’s been eleven weeks since Marianne started her weekly feature on the blog here, where does the time go? I would like to extend a huge thank you to her for all her time she devotes researching and writing for us, she’s a busy gal, an up and coming dj in Rome and last I spoke with her she had so many things going on that I am astounded (and so thankful) that she still managed to find time for Multi Kulti Pandora’s Vase. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do, and if so, please take a moment to let her know either here or via the Tulip Tree page on Facebook. This week she brings several videos to us for International Roma Integration Day which is today. Over to Marianne with a little more information about that, along with some beautiful music.


MULTI KULTI PANDORA’S VASE VOL 11
~Marianne, Rome, Italy

Hello from Rome,

Lately I’m really busy, so I’m late again, and I’m sorry…but here we go again whit something special. Today is International Roma Integration Day…. so this week I wanna let you hear different versions of the same song…. made by different artists..from different parts of the world, and you migth notice that this same song…. is sung in different romany dialects…. but it remains the anthem of all Roma, people no matter where they come from, so was decided on the first world meeting witch was held in England…back in the ‘70′s…..
So this is the Roma Anthem (national song)
Romani
Djelem, djelem, lungone dromensa
Maladilem baxtale Romensa
Djelem, djelem, lungone dromensa
Maladilem baxtale Romensa.
Ay, Romale, Ay, Chavale,
Ay, Romale, Ay, Chavale.
Ay Romale, katar tumen aven
Le tserensa baxtale dromensa
Vi-man sas u bari familiya
Tai mudardya la e kali legiya.
Aven mansa sa lumiake Roma
Kai putaile le Romane droma
Ake vryama – ushti Rom akana
Ame xutasa mishto kai kerasa.
Ay, Romale, Ay Chavale,
Ay, Romale, Ay Chavale.

English Translation
I have traveled over long roads
I have met fortunate Roma
I have traveled far and wide
I have met lucky Roma
Oh, Romani adults, Oh Romani youth
Oh, Romani adults, Oh Romani youth
Oh, Roma, from wherever you have come
With your tents along lucky roads
I too once had a large family
But the black legion murdered them
Come with me, Roma of the world
To where the Romani roads have been opened
Now is the time – stand up, Roma,
We shall succeed where we make the effort.
Oh, Roma adults, Oh, Roma youth
Oh, Roma adults, Oh, Roma youth.

DJELEM DJELEM   — sung by the king  SABAN BAJRAMOVIC…version from Ex Yoguslavia:

Lovely version performed by street musicians, in Odessa,  Ukraine, have been searching for these people, but whitout luck, I think they are great, and I love this version:

American Roma, sings it this way:

JELEM JELEM
I don’t know the band playing here….but it’s a very modern version, so made by young people…and the pictures are chosen  to help not to forget..what the world seams to have forgotten… PORAJMOS, which means Holocaust, for the Roma…as they were slaugthered alongside Jews, mentally ill, and homosexuals, in the Nazi concentration camps during world war 2:

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0R_yzRdk6U&feature=related

yet this is only a very little part of what I think must be dozens of diffrent versions I love this song, and bout 2 years ago… I asked Eugene Hutz from Gogol Bordello to play it for me, in a bar in Copenhagen….he did, and we sang it together … great moment, that I do treasure.

Hope you all will like at least one of these above,  and that some day all people will stand up and yell for ALL human beings…to have the same rights to have a nationality….

Have a great week end.

Posted on by

I have to say, this week flew by so fast I’m sort of hanging on the tails of Thursday which, without me really being aware of the date change, dropped me off into Friday! That’s a good thing for many reasons, one of which is Marianne’s weekly feature, the 9th installment of her extremely enjoyable Multi Kulti Pandora’s Vase, which brings us our supply of the best in balkan/gypsy/Roma music. This week, another feature focusing on one artist via his very entertaining 2010 video Tour Diary. Enjoy it, share it, dance to it!
