The Khamoro Festival (meaning “sunshine” in Romani) is the largest professional Romani festival in the world. Since 1999, it has been organized in Prague by the NGOs Slovo 21 and Studio Production Saga. Over the years, more than 260 bands from 33 countries have performed there – including world-famous supergroups like Mahala Rai Banda, Kočani Orkestar, and Parno Graszt. In addition to concerts by Romani bands from across the globe, Khamoro also offers exhibitions, a children’s day, storytelling by eyewitnesses, film screenings, dance workshops, and expert conferences. Each year, the festival is attended by approximately 10,000 visitors from both the Czech Republic and abroad. The main goal of Khamoro is to connect the Romani minority with the majority population through art. From the very beginning, the festival was supported, among others, by Václav Havel. Khamoro is a proud recipient of the prestigious EFFE Label – a European quality mark for festivals.
