Lakatos Mónika singer with the groups Romengo and Cigány Hangok has just received the 2020 WOMEX life time achievement award! Here she talks about being a Hungarian Gypsy, about tradition, passing on tradition, singing in the Gypsy language, music and their recording called “Romanimo” which contains the ‘rhythmless’ listening, ballad-like old songs sung in her family’s community - which is where she began to sing and learned her songs. With the Romanimo recording they wanted to share this kind of song that ‘comes from a place deep down’ and to remind today’s young folks in the Gypsy communities about this genre and their heritage.
