gitano

Gitano is Spanish for a Romani person, particularly one from Spain or the Iberian Peninsula.

The term carries the culture's associations with flamenco music, dance, and a traditionally itinerant lifestyle.

In Spanish-speaking contexts, it can be neutral or romantic, though like most ethnic labels applied by outsiders, it may carry pejorative undertones depending on speaker and intent: the gitano quarter of Granada, gitano flamenco singers.
