Celebrated since 1999, the Khamoro is the largest professional Roma festival. This year around 300 artists from 16 different countries performed at the event.
The five-day-long festival is one of the most prestigious Roma events on an international level with top Roma musicians performing. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
