When the Road Bends...Tales of a Gypsy Caravan

When the Road Bends...Tales of a Gypsy Caravan

(When the Road Bends...Tales of a Gypsy Caravan), Jasmine Dellal / USA-NL, 2006
English-Spanish-Ruminian-Makedon-Indi version, Czech subtitles, 110 min

Five Gypsy bands. Top musicians from four countries set out in a caravan on a six-week tour of America and amaze everyone who has the luck to meet them. Their musical genres include flamenco, brass, Gypsy fiddle and Indian instruments. Their explosive songs and dances are a celebration of the best of Romany culture. Through their art we also explore their roots, in Macedonia, Romania, India and Spain, meet their families and get a glimpse of what music means in their lives. The tales that these characters tell each other between performances give us an insight into their music, history and culture.
