The spirit of the Deserts Road

INTERVIEW WITH MAYA DEVI From the italian magazine BELLYDANCEITALIA by Luca Ferrari
What is the meaning of the Nomad Dance Fest? discovery. He was born from a passion of mine to search for their roots. My grandmother Lea is originally from Andalusia. Christmas Eve taught me how to read tarot cards. The Nomad Dance Fest is a gif for all those who follow or are in a country this vast nomadic route. It is a gif that I made to myself and to my family. It is not a trade show. It is an event open to all. The aim of the festival is to reiterate that traveling, discover. Travelling around the world have discovered that unknown cultures need to know. I want to give the whole of Italy in Milan and the chance to meet these cultures and dances. I strongly believe that at this time more than ever, we must return to its roots, designed as simplicity and respect for all living beings and the environment. The nomads adapt to their environment without losing its memory. You have to help the modern man to recover this. Modern man is too focused on the past and the future. The nomads live in the present. I fnd it very fascinating. In my training meeting this (Maya is the founder of the school of dance and yoga Mudrarte of Milan, ed .) Yoga is living in the present. Meditation is present. India, Spain, Arab and Tuareg sounds. The Nomad Dance Fest is a journey into the roots of humanity. Precisely. A world traveling where there is knowledge and respect. If you know the traditions of other people, you have no fear of the stranger, nor of the unknown. In cultures gipsy there is always a touch of magic. From India to Andalusia. There are those who read the cofee grounds, who do you care with snake venom and who gives the love potion. It's the magic that is scary, and the human being materialistic is frightened of the unknown.

History of Gypsies Route

Around the ninth century, thousands of inhabitants of North-West they began to migrate westward. They lef the territories currently known as Punjab and Pakistan and Persia were divided into two streams: a migration headed for Palestine, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia and Morocco and, afer crossing the Strait of Gibraltar, fnally landed in areas of southern Spain Moorish. These migrant populations were already known by the name of the Gypsies (ndt one of the supposed origin of the name is a modifcation of Egypt, crossed the country during migration). In the region known as Al-Andalus, cultures were coexisted for centuries. Al-Andalus was the only place where, for a long period coexisted gypsies, Jews, Christians and Muslims. The invasion of the Muslims and the division into castes implemented by those in the occupied territory, causing migration of the population. Most migrants belonged to the lowest caste, Shudra or Chandalar, and was outside the caste system. While the caravans of Indian immigrants moved westward, they absorbed elements of the countries and cultures, crossing. When they reached Spain, their language, their way of dancing and singing were still some similarities with the original elements brought from India. The frst Gypsy tribes settled in Andalucia during the reign of Abd ar-Rahman III, in the age X.
