Cigarettes & Songs

Cigarety a pesničky

The documentary film records a weekly meeting of singers and musicians in Veľký Slavkov, who in August 2009 recorded songs for the CD afterPhurikane in the local Lutheran church. It is a kind of "making of", a documentary that brings a new dimension of reality, humor, absurdity to this music. In addition to an intense experience of traditional, but less known to the public, Romani original music, the film also brings the social context of the singers' lives and an intimate picture of the emotional world of the Roma. It is a real, vivid and at the same time positive picture of the Romani minority.
