"Foaie Verde" translates to "Green Leaf" in Romanian, but it's also an exclamation of delight, emotion, or astonishment. Both meanings aptly describe the album "MUSIK DER SINTI UND ROMA": lively, powerful, and full of emotions.
Similar to how a young leaf carries the memories of the entire tree within its cells, this music is deeply rooted in the vibrant tradition of the Sinti and Roma of the Balkans, a tradition that has been sustained through the centuries and extends into the present.
With musical excellence and exploring all facets of musical expression, Foaie Verde transports listeners into an ecstatic whirl of tones and sounds, akin to carrying stored solar energy. Green leaves can do that!
"What has been passed down here for centuries, from the father's mouth to the son's ear, without the detour of writing, is a grand opera that feels as fresh as a 'green leaf'. The Roma are right when they say, 'This music belongs to the whole world.' That's how it should be!" - Jossi Wieler (Intendant of the Stuttgart Opera)
