For Gypsy atmosphere/music from that time - you should watch the movie "The Man Who Cried". It features a real gypsy band that plays traditional gypsy music

The band is in the movie - here's a short song
I have a bad feeling if I ever watched that movie I'd be packing up my little hobo satchel and heading for a caravan in no time.

Thanks for the heads up on this show, sounds great. I watched a thing about gypsies just the other day and I think all they do all day is dance and sing and cook. All at the same time
