10th anniversary is very significant jubilee so the organisators decided to celebrate it by bringing in Prague  the best Roma artists, who have performered in Czech Republic in last ten years. Within the Gypsy jazz concert you can admire world-known guitarists Angello Debarre or Yorgui Loeffler. Within traditional Roma music concert you can look forward to queen of Roma music Esma Redzepova from Macedonia, amazing Spanish Puerto Flamenco, whose dancer taught us last year how to dance flamenco. We will also see the theater-musical show of Ukrainian Romans and Czech Bengas in full formation. Beside musical program we also prepare rich additional program.

There will be exhibition of traditional Roma dresses in Aventine palace and exhibition of unique photographs by significant Czech romist Eva Davidova.
