Interview with Farkas Zsolt leader of Khamoro Budapest Band. Farkas Zsolt comes from Mátészalka in northeastern Hungary. His father was from the nearby village of Nagyecsed, well-known for its traditional Gypsy dance and culture. After earning a diploma from the School of the Hospitality Industry in Budapest, Zsolt received the title ’Young Master of Folk Arts’ in 1995 as a member of Rományi Rotá Ensemble. He toured as dancer and musician with Kalyi Jag Band from 1997 until 2007. Then he formed Khamoro Budapest Band and they released their first recording. The Khamoro group also holds dance houses and dance workshops. They tour out-of-the-way villages in Hungary to work with underprivileged children and plan to continue with this work reinforcing the sense of identity in the children there. Through his work, music and dance he would like to acquaint as many people as possible with Gypsy culture and inspire them to live that culture proudly. By Grozdits Károly.
