We are happy to invite you to the 1
st
ever Roma Camp in Shutka-Skopje
MK. It will take place in the last week of July 2017.
It will be full with music, singing, dancing, wonderful people and a lot
of fun.
Why Šutka? Šutka isn’t exactly a tourist destination, and many
Macedonians would never even entertain the thought of visiting this
neighborhood.
Šutka, with 40,000 inhabitants, is one of the largest Romani mahalas in
Europe. Visiting Šutka feels like entering another country.
The architecture features very poor houses next to huge, colorful ones
decorated with gaudy lion statues and wagon wheels. People speak
Romani. Life is lived out on the streets, and it’s lived loudly.
It is nothing like a typical Macedonian or in Eastern European
neighborhood.
That is why Šutka doesn´t have a single hotel
.
For the Seminar we have
arranged lodging in Ferus Mustafov´s motel, not to far from Šutka. It is
small but it has a nice big cool hall where we will hold music and dance
classes and have dinner. Because the hotel is small, we have also
arranged private apartments in the heart of Šutka.
Dance teachers: Šani Rifati
Singing teachers: Eleonora, Šani
Trumpet: Ekrem Ibraimov, Ali Ibišev
Saxophone, Clarinet: Enver Ibraimov
Tuba: Burhan Ibraimov
Accordion: Dragan Mitrović
Tapan, Darbuka: Popeye
