Yes it is gypsy but there are also dollops of Spanish flamenco, Russian, Greek –indeed the music of anyone who likes to party. ”Glenn A Baker8 July 2017“it was about the second or third tune last night when my perspective shifted and I became a human in a room with other humans, having a party, being free, celebrating life and love and joy. This palpable feeling came over me, like if we could just do this often enough, everything would be alright. That it would be a life well-lived….throwing an eternal gypsy party that never sleeps where anything is
possible and love and unity triumph over cynicism and mistrust.” Nic ‘Sonny’ Lewis, beloved audience member,The Basement Sydney, 2017′ (Lolo Lovina)…have created an album that swings from traditional to groundbreaking Rroma music, all imbued with a tremendous sense of fun’ Lucky Oceans, The Daily Planet ABC Radio National, 2015“…Traditional Gypsy tunes alternate with Lolo originals here, and the arrangements are solid, tight, classy and brassy..” 4 STAR review of Rroma Sapien by Seth Jordan in Songlines Magazine, London UK. June 2016′Excellent new, vibrant album (RromAntics!) from world-touring, Sydney-based Rrom music band..’Lucky Oceans, The Daily Planet, ABC Radio National 2016“..twoespecial strengths glue the components into a cohesive whole. One is the sheer fun factor: you hear the players enjoying themselves as tangibly as you hear the sound of the drums, saxophone or accordion. The other is Sarah Bedak’s voice, which never losesits identity, despite being malleable enough to be breathy, teasing, seductive or vigorous.” 3.5 Star review of RromAntics!, John Shand for the Sydney MorningHerald 2016
