A band of passionate lovers of Roma culture. Sadly, even today Roma culture faces a considerable amount of stereotypes or romanticization. The message of the band is to make Roma music available to the widest audience possible, promote cultural dialogue between minority and majority, and point out how misleading stereotypical views are.

One part of the initiative is the educational project “Aven Jekhetane”, which brings workshops and concerts for primary and secondary schools across Slovakia aiming to raise awareness of cultural diversity, critical thinking and to raise their interest in Roma culture.

Since its debut, O Gadže Bašaven has been invited to many music festivals. For more info, check their IG profile.
