gypsy music
Caravan fiddle songs
Gypsy music refers broadly to musical styles associated with Romani people, particularly the passionate, virtuosic traditions of Eastern European Roma—featuring rapid violin passages, cimbalom, and emotional intensity.
The term appears in classical contexts (Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsodies, Brahms's Hungarian Dances) and describes cafe and wedding music from Hungary, Romania, and the Balkans.
The restaurant featured a gypsy music ensemble.
Like "gypsy" itself, the term is considered outdated or offensive by some who prefer "Romani music."
