WELCOME TO ROMANI YAG’S NEW WEBSITE!
Over the years, Romani Yag has acquired experience and a solid reputation as the organiser of events dedicated to Romani culture in North America and in Europe. We have already brought our unique approach, our “special touch” to enthusiastic audiences in Canada, Belgium, France, Norway and Croatia… and there’s more to come!
Who are the Roma?
“Is the term Roma synonymous with “Gypsy, Tsigane, Manouche?”, “Do Roma all live in caravans”, “Is being musical in their genes?”, “Are Roma the same throughout the world?”, “How are they different?”, “Do Roma come from Romania?”, “Where does the discrimination against Roma come from?”… These are all questions that have been asked to us many times over the years.
Many of you want to find out more about this people, but don’t know where to start looking.
We’ve got good news for you: We have proven that knowledge about Romani culture and history go together beautifully with Romani dance, music and arts in general. Through our events, you will receive answers to these questions and understand this culture better while having fun!
We are certain that by getting to know the Roma people’s history, rich culture and heritage and by meeting many remarkable Roma at our events, you will see the immense beauty and diversity that the Romani cultures worldwide hold.
What is Romani Yag?
It’s a non-profit organisation dedicated to the promotion and dissemination of the cultural diversity of the Roma people (often called “Gypsies”) through public events, arts and media. Romani Yag began its actions in 2005 in North America and has continued its work in Europe as of 2008.

You will find out all you need to know about who we are, what we do, what exclusive services we offer and whom we’ve been supported by since 2005.
