Tekameli - Religious Gypsy Songs [Flamenco]

Tekameli es un grupo musical de gitanos perpinyanencs. Cantan canciones de temática evangelista.En un CD del año 1994 (Chants religieux gitana) incorporan algunos temas en catalán.En mayo de 1997 representan la Cataluña del Norte en un festival de rumba que tiene lugar en Perpiñán.

From one country to another, to one language to another, the extraordinary ability of Gypsies to adapt almost challenges time itself; their societies are not without their own particular laws. On the contrary, they are nothing more than the results of the evolution of all ancestral organisations that give rise to `little` civilisations and which are unique in so many ways.
The gypsies of Perpignan (gitans), for example, have for several decades now all but ceased using the gypsy language (the Calo) preferring to adopt almost exclusively Catalan or Spanish. Tekameli - Gyspsies from Perpignan - sing both in Calo and Catalan.
In the little-known geography of the Catalan gypsies, and if we ignore the political and cultural boundaries of the dominant societies, Perpignan occupies an intermediary position in the considerable spread which stretches from Valencia in southern Spain to as far north as Flanders.
