Drom NYC (New York City)

DROM is a voyage – an enchanting journey on the road across cultures and countries, across many varieties of music, cuisine, libations and other forms of fine art. In fact, it is a voyage of discovery across international cultures and their artistic expression. Each unique in its creativity and yet universal in its theme. DROM, literally a road from the Greek Dromos, signifies a journey in the universal Romani or gypsy culture. The ancient gypsies were fearless explorers, true to their romantic spirit, people of the earth and very creative. From their origins in India, they spread through the Middle East, North Africa and Europe. As they have touched different cultures in their journeys, they have created different versions of their music, food and art. In that sense, they are the forbearers of many of us in the world today. Rootless and yet citizens of the world. And what better place to start this journey than in New York – the gypsy capital of the world.
