There was a wonderful video documentary on World Link T.V.
a couple of them actually...from Romania and Hungary.

One is Parno Graszt there is a preview here--
http://www.linktv.org/programs/parno

A colorful dose of the REAL "Hungarian gypsy" music that Roma have been making for centuries, this documentary is about the band Parno Grazst, or "white horse." The film captures the homemade music that they now take on the road to make a living. Take a guitar, a milk can, someone who can sing bass, a dash of Romany soul, and suddenly, it's a party! Meet the band, their families and even the white horse, in Parno Graszt.


it will be showing (pacific time--2007)
