This small collection of songs written and performed by Gypsies, Roma and Travellers has been compiled with the help of Ambrose Cooper and Kerieva who have also contributed some of their own songs. They reflect a diverse range of music for you to learn, play and perhaps perform. Fanfare Ciocarlia and Hungarian Gypsy Orchestra are among the most popular orchestral performers in the world. The critically-acclaimed rock band Gogol Bordello are fusing traditional Gypsy music with new forms for a wider audience to promote Romani rights. As are KAL, the hottest Gypsy band from Belgrad who are touring the UK as part of GRTHM 2009. Gypsies and Travellers have developed their own traditions in music, story-telling, poetry, art and design, and dance. Our influence on artistic achievements in all these areas has been immense. We have helped forge such unique artistic expressions such as the art of flamenco in Southern Spain and sustain it to this day. In the past, many classical composers such as Debussy and Liszt were inspired by traditional Gypsy music. Now youth from the Travelling communities are starting to express their heritage through new musical forms: in the UK, artists such as Tommy Pearce, Addy Lee, Jamal Jimenez and Jentina Chapman are part of a growing Gypsy Rap movement which is taking GRT music in new directions. The Travelling community has always included some of the most talented musicians of any period. Most people have heard of the great guitarist Django Reinhardt, a Belgian Sinto Gypsy and one of Europe’s first great Jazz musicians. Today Taraf de Haïdouks, Thank you for downloading our Romano Drom songbook. Enjoy. 3 { A Pub With No Beer Version sung by Ambrose Cooper Writen by Gordon Parsons, Recorded by Slim Dusty, 1957 Old time Waltz Other Verses Now the publican’s anxious for the quota to come There’s a far-away look on the face of the bum. The maid’s gone all cranky and the cook’s acting queer What a terrible place is a pub with no beer. Old Billy the Blacksmith, first time in his life Has gone home cold sober to his darling wife. He walks in the kitchen, she said “you’re early my dear,” Then he breaks down and he tells her, “The pub’s got no beer!” Then the stockman rides up with his dry dusty throat He walks up to the bar and pulls a wad from his coat But the smile on his face quickly turns to a sneer As the barman said sadly, ”The pub’s got no beer”. Then the swaggy comes in smothered in dust and flies He throws down his roll and rubs the sweat from his eyes. But when he gets told he says, “What’s this I hear? I’ve crouched fifty flaming miles to a pub with no beer!” There’s a dog on the veranda, for his master he waits But the boss is inside making wine with his mates. He hurries for cover and he cringes in fear It’s no place for a dog round a pub with no beer. Now it’s-a lonesome away, from your kindred and all, By a campfire at night, where the wild wind blows cold. There’s nothing so lonesome, morbid or drear, As to stand in a bar of a pub with no beer. 4 { Chaje Shukarije by Esma Redzepova Translation Young Gypsy girl is so beautiful that she enchants a boy through her walk and beauty Esma Redzepova, the queen of Romani singers, wrote ‘Chaje Shukarije’ when she was about 11 years old, and many other fine songs during the 1960’s and 1970’s. He begs her to stay a little, just for a moment, to turn back and look at him But she just walks by proudly Looking beautiful and does not look at he Who is burning with desire. She was not able to record ‘Chaje Shukarije’ in her native Bulgaria as Gypsy performances and records at that time were strictly forbidden- part of the communist ideological doctrine for that country- so she recorded the song in Yugoslavia where regulations were a lot more liberal. However, when she approached radio stations they refused to play the song because of her Roma background, that is, unless she would agree that the song become a ‘public domain’. This is a very sad tale and so common in Gypsy music; the real hit Esma wrote became public for everyone, including Goran Bregovic who appropriated rights to the song, whilst she has never received any of the credit she so justly deserves. 5 So if you get the chance, enjoy Esma’s version of this joyous song as it’s definitely the best!
