Culture - be it sculpture, writing, painting, speech or music - is all about migration. Meeting new people, learning, adopting new ideas, but keeping your roots. In ancient times, when ethnic groups consisted of not more than a few thousand people, they were all moving around - and that's where our cultural diversity comes from. Later national borders were established and "keeping" for some reason became more important than "sharing". But a minority kept moving and although they were always considered outsiders, over the centuries they were in fact "couriers" for cultural exchange. In the minority culture, and especially in their music, European cultural variety reflects as in a kaleidoscope.
