Romani New Years Eve Party 2008, Perth WA
Ederlezi Gurgovden
Around 70 guests celebrated Erdelezi Gurgovden 2009 at the Macedonian club, Illenden. Even though the attendance was down on previous years everyone still had an enjoyable evening dancing, watching the belly dancers and listening to Gello sing. Guests joined in together and sang traditional Romani songs. The belly dancers put on a colourful performance which even included swinging real swords around and balancing them on their heads while dancing.
