This book highlights the role of Romani musical presence in Central
and Eastern Europe, especially from Krakow in the Communist period,
and argues that music can and should be treated as one of the main
points of relation between Roma and non-Roma. It discusses Romani
performers and the complexity of their situation as conditioned by
the political situations starkly affected by the Communist regime,
and then by its fall. Against this backdrop, the book engages with
musician Stefan Dymiter (known as Corroro) as the leader of his own
street band: unwelcome in the public space by the authorities,
merely tolerated by others, but admired by many passers-by and
respected by his peer Romain musicians and international music
stars. It emphasizes the role of Romani musicians in Krakow in
shaping the soundscape of the city while also demonstrating their
collective and individual strategies to adapt to the new
circumstances in terms of the preferred performative techniques,
repertoire, and overall lifestyle.
