Full Description
This study explores the post-pandemic rediscovery of Romani musical heritage in Krakow, focusing on the emblematic figure of Corroro, a prominent Romani busker. It examines how the sonic legacy associated with the Roma, and with Corroro in particular, functions as a site of cultural memory and urban identity, reflecting broader processes of social transformation, negotiations of authenticity, and the rearticulation of marginalised voices within the city's evolving soundscape.
