Matasaru Music Camp is a unique summer programme which gathers together musicians and students of music. As a participant in this programme, we offer you the chance to get a better understanding of Roma and Romanian culture. From the oldest times in Romania, the Roma (or Gypsies) were the keepers of the musical tradition, as they were the majority in all the orchestras, bands and ‘tarafs’. What is truly exceptional is that most of the time, their music and skills were transmitted from fathers to sons only by ear.
