Virtual Busking - "A Pariah's Wet Dream" in Rei Romanian, Manouche style
Here is another episode of Virtual Busking! It's the electronic alternative to busking on the streets and you do it for crypto! So throw me a bit of Steem and an upvote, please!
I rolled my dice and flipped my coin and the God's of chaos decided on this music today. It's not a style I'm terribly comfortable with, but I had a lot of fun making it so I hope you enjoy. I specialise in improvisation and love to learn by throwing myself in the deep end and just having a go; learning a little bit more each time I do.
Want to participate? Put Virtual Busking as the first part of your title, put 'virtualbusking' in your tags and place the hashtag #virtualbusking in your info somewhere. It's as simple as that. And give me a shout, I'll come over and have a look.
Thanks a bunch for listening,
Monty

Just so people are familiar with this - gypsy jazz or manouche is a style of music popularised by Django Reinhardt.
The Romanian scale apparently comes from Romania.
The term gypsy is technically a term used for a group of people with Romanian bloodline. Yet, it is used for so many other things as well in Western culture.
Gypsy jazz is technically not gypsy music per say.
But whose to say it's not.
It's important to make the distinction because I have been pulled up for cultural misappropriation for using the term 'gypsy' for myself. In one sense, yes this is true.
I have many friends in Eastern Europe (a place where there are a lot of gypsies) and I even went to the trouble of asking them, is it offensive to gypsies (of the Romanian bloodline) to take on this label? They said they wouldn't really give a rats arse if you put that label on yourself.
Having travelled through eastern europe and Turkey myself I have met 'gypsies'. And many non-gypsies use the term 'gypsy' as a derogatory or negative label - as a curse word.
There are so many types of gypsie from different origins all over the world and not all of them come from Romania originally.
In the end, I just ended up calling myself a nomad/troubadour/travelling musician etc.
So here is a long story about semantics. And who cares to listen.
Have a nice day! =)
