Lăutari
The Romanian word lăutar (; plural: ''lăutari'') denotes a class of musicians. The term was adopted by members of a professional clan of Romani musicians in the late XVIII century. The term is derived from ''lăută'', the Romanian word for lute. ''Lăutari'' usually perform in bands, called taraf. Terminology ''Lăutar'', according to the DEX ("Dicționarul Explicativ al Limbii Române" — "The Explanatory Dictionary of the Romanian Language"), is formed from ''lăută'' (meaning "lute") and the agent suffix ''-ar'', common for occupational names. Originally, the word was used only for the peasant romanian musicians who played the ''lăută''. A distinction should be made between the generic Romanian-language word ''lăutar'' and the Romani clan. The others were named after their instruments, too, e.g.: ''scripcar'' ( scripcă player), ''cobzar'' (cobza player), and ''naingiu'' ( nai/panflute player). From the 17th century, the word ''lăutar'' was used regardless of th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Fictional Representations Of Romani People
Many fictional depictions of the Romani in literature and art present Romanticized narratives of their supposed mystical powers of fortune telling, and their supposed irascible or passionate temper paired with an indomitable love of freedom and a habit of criminality. Critics of how Romani people have been portrayed in popular culture point out similarities to portrayals of Jewish people, with both groups stereotyped negatively as wandering, spreading disease, abducting children, and violating and murdering others. Romani people were portrayed in Victorian and modern British literature as having "sinister occult and criminal tendencies" and as associated with "thievery and cunning", and in English Renaissance and baroque theatre as incorporating "elements of outlandish charm and elements which depict hemas the lowest of social outcasts," connected with "magic and charms," and "juggling and cozening."
