The LUNA Band from Martin is a vocal-instrumental group of four musicians, graduates of the Košice Conservatory. Their repertoire is primarily focused on Romani and Slovak folklore compositions, partly also on the interpretation of pop songs in folkloristic arrangements and classical music.
The LUNA Band members and instrumental lineup:
Petra Cicková – accordion
Bronislava Cicková – double bass
Michaela Kazárová – violin
Stanislava Cicková – vocals, percussion
The song Why am I Going Home is originally a Romani folk song (the original Romani lyrics currently unknown). It was adapted into the widely popular form, which the LUNA Band also performs, by respected Romani singer and composer Ľubo Virág (* 20.11.1955 – † 10.11.2024).
The video was recorded as part of a series documenting Romani folklore bands in 2023.
