The 11th Oriental & Flamenco Gypsy Festival offers a unique encounter between East and West, between Gypsy Groove and Flamenco. After the great success of the past years the Gypsy Festival will present 15 great artists from 7 different countries: Ssassa will perform in an extended formation with Jasko and Djastin. Great Flamenco will be performed by Miguel Sotelo, Katja Campanile, Jorge San Telmo and Isabel Amaya.

Roma culture is a unique melting pot of miscellaneous ethnic influences. On the CD „Romano Kazani“ (literally, melting pot), Ssassa brings this opulent mixture to musical life – with 12 brand new compositions as well as 2 traditional songs, all of them sung in up to 3 different languages. The songs burst from a wide variety of instruments – from lustful trompets to the melancholic oud and the archaic gajda. On this cd, Ssassa invites the listener to wander onto an hour-long intensive soundscape, all to experience the beautifully rich cultural blend that is… Roma.
