I like photography. And I like music. Every time, when I play OYE COMO VA (by Tito Puente + Santana) on my guitar: this photo creeps into my mind – two dancers – I took the photo during a Gypsy festival in the Netherlands. “Oye como va! Mi ritmo! Bueno pa’ gozar! Mulata!” – translated: “Check it out! My rhythm! Good to enjoy! Mulatta!”

Aus Deinem Photo erklingt Samba oder eine ähnliche lateinamerikanische oder – man entschuldige den Ausdruck, aber ich finde keinen besseren! – Zigeunermusik (wie nennt man die denn?) …

früher Zigeunermusik – heute (eingedenk der massenhaften Vergasung in den Konzentrationslagern des Nazi-Regimes): Musik der Sinti und Roma, US / UK: Gypsy; France: Gitane (?)
