"Mother Ramona" Torres was born in the 1960s in a Kalon campsite in Realengo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Raised in a traditional Kalon Evoriana family, Ramona embodies the role of a Shuvanni—a spiritual guide, storyteller, and keeper of Romani magic and culture. Passionate about literature and mysticism from an early age, she began preserving her heritage through writing and teaching. Deeply devoted to Ramasordé—the spiritual path of her people—Ramona offers rituals, readings, and ceremonies rooted in Kalon wisdom. She began teaching at a time when sharing Romani magic publicly was rare, and became a respected figure in holistic and esoteric spaces across Brazil. With eloquence and vision, she invites others to honor Romani culture through love, celebration, and connection to the sacred. Ramona lives for the Ramasordé, which she sees as both her calling and her joy, and runs the spiritual center, Confraria Universalista ViAurum.Follow @luzdeevora on Instagram and Confraria Universalista ViAurum on Facebook.

Orhan Tahir is a Romani lawyer, scholar and journalist, originally from Bulgaria, who has lived in Western Europe for the past 10 years. He is currently engaged as a PhD researcher in Political Science at the Heidelberg University in Germany. Orhan's focus is on the construction of "Gypsies" as an outcast "Pariah people" in European imagination in line with the Orientalist narratives of colonial India, and the impact of this concept on modern perceptions of Roma. He is among the first scholars in Europe to examine the situation of the Roma from the perspective of "caste" - a new approach still unpopular in European academia.Orhan's LinkedInOur Romani crush is the artist and anarchist, Helios GomezSome information about enslaved African's language heritage https://wordscr.com/what-language-did-slaves-speak/https://www.nps.gov/ethnography/aah/aaheritage/sysMeaningA.htm Thank you for listening to Romanistan podcast.You can find us on Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook @romanistanpodcast, and on Twitter @romanistanpod.

"Seeking Warmth," an art exhibit curated by artist Sharon Svec, held at Art At The Cave in Vancouver, WA running March 4-29, 2025, aims to explore humanity's need for emotional and physical warmth, especially during times of extreme circumstances such as those caused by genocide, war, oppression and neglect. Ceija Stojka (1933-2013) was a child survivor of the Romani Holocaust (Samudaripen) who began sharing her experiences in written and painted format in 1988 at age 55. She is recognized as a bold activist of Roma, who continue to face persecution today. Sam Marroquin works in collage and paint to expose current and historical trauma within society, emphasizing systems that mask the atrocities against humanity. Daniel Baker examines the role of artistic practice as a form of social agency with a focus on Roma aesthetics. Read The Memoirs of Ceija Stojka, Child Survivor of the Roma Holocaust, translated by Lorely FrenchFollow @sharonimous, @cave.gallery.vancouver, @ceijastojka_int_association, @danielbakerartsOur Romani crush is Susie. CN: from minute 42-44 we discuss a story involving suicide.

Nancy Black is the alter ego of the journalist and activist Gilda-Nancy Horvath, a Romni from Vienna, Austria. She writes poems in Romanes, English and German which are sometimes translated to music, mainly rap music. Her rap-poem "Trushula" (Crosses) states clearly that the danger of dark history repeating is always present - and that even people from marginalized groups are not safe from being seduced by the very simple answers that far-rights give, which are rooted in fear, hate and anger. Beyond this, she is creator of many projects and consulting governments and politicians. A few of Gilda's many Romani crushes are Charlie Chaplin, Alina Serban, Kali Michaela, Niko G, all the Romani journalists, Dalibor Tanic and his reporting on the Balkans, and everyone in Gilda's portrait series "Glaso," Cat Jugravo, and the Roma Armee with Sandra Selimović and Simonida Selimović. Works sampled in this episode are as follows:"Presidenurija," Love Revolution, Nancy Black"Trushula," Love Revolution, Nancy Black"Überschein," unreleased track from a live jam with Nancy Black and the Prizreni Brothers"Dear Ancestors" by Nancy Black, initially written for a project by Cat JugravoFollow Gilda Horvath @nancyblack101Thank you for listening to Romanistan podcast.You can find us on Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook @romanistanpodcast, and on Twitter @romanistanpod.

Andra Zlătescu is a musician, performer, and illustrator, who performs as part of the band Willow Switch, Spindle Collective, and as a solo performer. Andra plays the singing saw (a carpentry saw played with a violin bow that evokes the haunting wail of the wind in the trees), banjo, guitar, and sings. Andra is passionate about creation that serves to act as a spell to open the doorways- to honour the land, their ancestors and traditions, to celebrate the bodies' connection with the cycles of the seasons and death//life//death; To invoke the daemons of the crossroads- crossroads of paths meeting, of ancestry, of the past and future as they simultaneously exist within the present moment to weave our stories through time and sing us into the ancestors we are in the process of becoming. Andra premiered at TIFF as one of the main subjects in the documentary COVEN, a film exploring the relationship between Witchcraft and feminism. Willow Switch just released their first album on Samhain and completed two music and pagan Festival tours across Ontario. You can find them on Spotify and Apple Music. Andra is currently in the process of recording a solo album at Half Moon Studio in Toronto. The Romani crush this episode is Mariska Veres, lead singer of Shocking Blue. Thank you for listening to Romanistan podcast.You can find us on Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook @romanistanpodcast, and on Twitter @romanistanpod.

We had such a beautiful interview with Ion Zanca, interwoven with music from his new album, ROMANI: The Untold Story. Ion Zanca is the founder of the Dallas String Quartet, a Billboard-charting Classical Crossover ensemble with over 700 million streams on streaming platforms. They have performed for multiple sitting U.S. Presidents, with superstars like Ed Sheeran, Luke Combs, Jason Aldean and Ashley McBryde and their last album debuted at #2 on the Billboard Chart. Their new album "ROMANI: The Untold Story" - composed by Ion Zanca, founder of the Dallas String Quartet - is a poignant musical tribute that honors the history and suffering of the Romani people during the Holocaust. In collaboration with the London Symphony Orchestra, the album's five songs explore this dark chapter while celebrating the resilience and rich musical heritage of Romani culture. 50% of album presales are donated to the Roma Foundation.Romani crushes this episode are Charlie Chaplin, Roby Lakatos, and Diego Cigala. Thank you for listening to Romanistan podcast.You can find us on Instagram and Facebook @romanistanpodcast, and on Twitter @romanistanpod.
