Entertainment 2016

 

Here is a look at the entertainment at the 2016 PLUS Polish Festival:

Dziani

Dziani is one of the most famous people in the Gypsy show business, known as The Prince of the Gypsy Music. Brought up in a deeply traditional Roma culture, he began his musical career very early, next to his father, Don Vasyl, the famous Gypsy bard. Dziani’s grandfather, who migrated from Berlin to Poland, came from a royal German Roma and belonged to a Gypsy aristocracy. His grandmother was a Polish Roma, from the Brzezinski royal family. In addition to these aristocratic ties, the whole family belongs to the dynasty of Baro Szero, the Judge Superior to the Polish Roma, known as “The King of the Gypsies.”

The Prince of the Gypsy Music, Dziani, is famous for his part in the International Festival of the Roma Music and Culture that takes place annually in Ciechocinek and is organized by the King of the Gypsy Song, Don Vasyl himself. Dziani is also seen on TV shows and the musical scene across the country.
