“Gypsy Soul” is an entertaining, educational, and inspirational show – a definite must-see exploration of Romani (“Gypsy") culture. Western cultures aren’t typically aware that Romani people (or Roma) are an ethnic group who migrated from India across the Middle East and Europe for a thousand years. Often portrayed as exotic, mysterious and strange outsiders, the Roma have faced oppression and persecution for centuries. As a matter of survival, the Roma were continuously on the move. Much of what is known today of the Romani’s rich traditions comes through their singing, music and dance. The outstanding show “Gypsy Soul" is an insight into ancient, traditional Romani culture through fabulous musicians, singers and dancers. It will take you on an incredible adventure through different times and countries.

Enjoy a mesmerizing musical and dance venture along the Romani (“Gypsy”) Trail at Gypsy Soul – A Thousand Year’s Journey. Featuring a cast of internationally acclaimed musicians, vocalist and dancers from around the world, including Vadim Kolpakov, this innovative show tells the fascinating stories of the Romani people and their remarkable migration from India to Europe with its unique storytelling, it will take you on a cultural journey.

Produced and co-created by Blumenthal Performing Arts and Vadim Kolpakov, Gypsy Soul – A Thousand Year’s Journey was created in Charlotte.
