Composer and king of the gypsy trumpet, King Naat Veliov inherited his crown from a long line of Roma musicians from the Balkans. He mixes cultures and musical styles like no one before. Between tradition and modernity, he leads us on the paths of creation, transmission and influence of Romany music in the world.
