Paroles de gitans
Recueil de paroles de Gitans. Orales ou écrites, elles témoignent de l'esprit universel de ces nomades très spéciaux en butte, comme tous les nomades, aux agissements des sociétés sédentaires victorieuses. Elles expriment la loi vitale de ces hommes restés libres, ces hommes dont la seule profession est de vivre, comme disait Antonio Machado y Alvarez. «Copyright Electre»
