This week in class we sing “Amari Szi Amari,” a song that is a favorite in Romani communities around Europe, especially during weddings. In this Romani dance song the family welcomes a new daughter-in-law and implores the patriarch to do a dance to get the party started. In our version we sing, “Amari szi, amari, Amari szi Amarai, Ay dai dai dai dai dai dai dai dai dai, Let the old man dance, let the old man dance. Let the old man dance,” and then, “Ay dai dai dai dai dai dai dai dai dai!”
We are revising the AllAroundThisWorld.com site — the information you’re seeking may still be here, but a lot of links are broken and details may be out of date. We are currently using a new (better!) site — ExploreEverywhere.com — to tell you all about our class offerings, our “pen pal” program and how to become one of our teachers, and will eventually be moving all the goodies from here over to there. So, GO TO THE NEW SITE!
