Gypsy De-synchronized
Last night, I saw Gypsy Spirit: Journey of the Roma, produced by the UW World Music and Theatre Series. The performers were Romani people from Budapest, and some of the singers were very good. Unfortunately, the music didn't work well in this venue. We were around 250 people crammed into a darkened auditorium, staring at a bunch of out-of-sync folk singers who were trying to express soul. Just didn't work.
There was also some flamenco-style dancing, which would have been good in a cosy bar with some booze. I think the performers themselves were uncomfortable. Some were obviously nervous, and kept on fidgeting about.
