Manitas de Plata, Tony Gatlif, Kendji, Chico des Gipsy Kings and Boulou Ferré, these now famous travellers tell of their attachment to their gypsy or gypsy culture, which they help to promote.
Chico, singer of the Gipsy Kings, talks about the gypsy lifestyle kept by the band members: "We were lucky to be rich before we were rich ... We had the music with us. For us, it was the greatest wealth ... I don’t see why we would change our lives. We are happy like this"
Gypsy guitarist Boulou Ferré evokes the artistic influence of Django Reinhardt on his interpretation of the "jazz" guitar and the difference with the "classical" guitar learning technique. He says: "We cannot compare bridge and poker. They are two absolutely different techniques".
