Music correspondent Dave Wilson talks about Romani music, which is widely celebrated around the world - even as they're among the most oppressed minority populations in the world.
Most live in Europe, although there are diasporic communities all over the world. While many reject the term 'gypsy' as an ethnic slur, others use it to promote their work - including Roma musicians.
Dave Wilson is a saxophonist, clarinetist, composer, and interdisciplinary scholar, a Senior Lecturer in Music at the New Zealand School of Music-Te Kōkī.
