GIPSY MUSIC NIGHT TO SUPPORT ANITA DOLINSKA.
FUNDRAISING NIGTH OF GIPSY (ROMANY, MANOUCH,
FLAMENCO, TRAVELLER) AND WORLD MUSIC IN
TAYLOR'S PUB
7 DOMINICK ST UPR
GALWAY.
MONDAY 18 NOVEMBER, STARTING AT 8.00PM.
Free entrance (donations will be collected during the event)
Night in support of Anita Dolinska, our Romany sister and activist,
who was deported by the Irish Government in April 2002. She spent
two and a half year with us, during which she actively participated
in anti-racist campaigns and supported many other Romany women.
We believe that Anita has been persecuted both for being a
Roma and being a woman and an activist. Since she was deported
to Poland, Anita's and her son Emiliano's health have worsened.
Emiliano has asthma. She has no money, and her winter clothes
must be brought to her as she left them behind. The idea is to do a fundraiser so that someone
can go to Poland to bring her her warm clothes, medicines and check if we can support her in any other way. The send via post would
cost about 800 euros.
So bring some money for the ticket and to buy the medicines for Anita
and Emiliano, who have been separated from their family (Anita's parents
are still in Ireland).
During the evening Chelo will sing some Flamenco Gipsy (Buleria) songs;
Mouche Paltz and Steve will play their repertoire of European Gipsy music
(Manoush and Romany); Dinger will sing some traveller and Irish songs, and
other world and Irish musicians will also contribute. It ought to be a
brilliant and lively session against bad and racist laws that deprive us
of more and more of our dear friends from all over the world.
We hope that many people will turn up.
BAXTALO!!! SALUD!!!
