For those who understand #Slovak, I had the pleasure of talking with Romano fórum about my long-term research among Romani musical communities in Slovakia – specifically about my film #HopaLide, my project on #RomaniChords, the myth of Romani #MusicalBlood, and – last but not least – why Roma should have a stronger voice in researching their own culture.

The idea that some ethnic groups are born with #MusicalBlood is everywhere.

Roma. Jews. African Americans. Cubans. And many more.

But why does this idea persist? And what does it do in the real world?

In my new article, I unpack the anatomy of “musical blood” – using the case of Slovak Roma to show how this belief shapes their lives.
