“In 2015 the band changed its name from Barcelona Gipsy Klezmer Orchestra to Barcelona Gipsy balKan Orchestra, keeping BGKO as its acronym.”

“The group demands, in addition, to be very attentive with the different languages, because it has to sing in Castilian, Catalan, rom (the language of the gypsies of the East), Serbian, Russian and now in Arabic…”

They have many videos, i like this one:

and these two full concerts:

at the end of this she has the middle aged ladies dancing (at least bouncing up and down) in the aisles, clapping and singing along.
