Gypsy punk is a musical genre that blends traditional Romani music with elements of punk rock. It often features lively instrumentation, including accordion, violin, and guitar, combined with energetic rhythms and rebellious lyrics. The genre emerged in the late 20th century, drawing inspiration from both Eastern European folk traditions and the DIY ethos of punk. Artists like Gogol Bordello and Fanfare Ciocărlia are notable figures in the gypsy punk scene. Their music often addresses themes of immigration, identity, and social issues, creating a vibrant and eclectic sound that resonates with diverse audiences. Gypsy punk celebrates cultural fusion and the spirit of resistance.
