Beats of the Heart: The Romany Trail Part One: Gypsy Music into Africa(1981)
Heads up: this title uses a word that can hurt. It's shown as the filmmakers wrote it; some films like this were made by the communities the word targets.
60 min · Documentary, Music · Directed by Jeremy Marre
Released
The Romany Trail Part One takes us on a search for the lost gypsy tribes of Egypt, up the Nile to the ancient town of Luxor in the shadow of the great Pharaoh’s tombs. Along the way, from the markets of Cairo to the temple of Karnak, we meet dancing girls and acrobats, magicians, fortune-tellers and even mystics performing an exorcism. The programme culminates in the rhythms of Flamenco, in the gypsy caves of the Alhambra, where some of Spain’s foremost gypsy families celebrate their history.
