Flamenco en Badajoz (Tony Gatlif), Latcho Drom

Algerian-born (with Roma roots), Tony Gatlif and a small team filmed gypsies (Roma) beginning at their presumed genesis in India, following migrations through Egypt, Turkey, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia, France, and Spain. (These are not the only countries with Roma populations, but just those in this film.)

Some of M. Gatlif's wonderful films are available at:

Some of the older films are intermittently available.

Latcho Drom means "safe journey" in Romany, This scene was filmed in Badajoz, with many of the Amaya family singing as well as La Caita

The cinematography is awesome, the music, dance, and daily activities of the Roma draw you into a film that has very little dialogue. And none is needed!
