WHEN THE ROAD BENDS… five Gypsy bands from four countries on a six-week roadtrip across North America. The Gypsy Caravan concert tour unites musicians from around the world and dazzles every audience they meet. With fire in their bellies and soul in their voices, the musicians\u2019 styles range from flamenco to brass band, Romanian violin to Indian folk. And they celebrate the best in Gypsy culture and the diversity of the Romani people in an explosion of song and dance. The film follows the amazing tour both on-stage and behind-the-scenes, and we discover the real lives of these musicians \u2013 traveling to their homes, meeting their families and seeing what music brings to their worlds. Intimate tales of these characters are woven between their performances, allowing us a new understanding of Gypsy music and giving us exciting revelations about Romani history and culture.
