International Day of Roma with Music by Hans Zimmer and playing by Igudesman
CLICK HERE to watch the video. CLICK HERE to download MP2 version of the music. The Roma comprise a sizeable and growing percentage of the population in Central and Eastern Europe — up to 10 percent in some countries — but they are largely ostracized from mainstream society and excluded from political decision-making. Despite the political liberalization and economic development of the post-Communist era, Roma have not participated in their countries’ democratic institutions to address the economic, social and human rights problems that afflict their communities. Roma are routinely denied basic human rights and lack access to such vital state services as health care and education. CLICK HERE TO READ MORE
