It's Raining Romani: Gypsy Caravan and "Gypsy Rain"

Our random song of the day, Gypsy Rain, is by Gypsy Caravan, which was American band formed in 1991 by Bruce Beaton and Jeff Rees in Portland, Oregon.  The band varied from four to 9 musicians, and sometimes filled in extra strings and percussion as needed. Their main focus was playing for the Gypsy Caravan Dance Company, and they played a variety of original music and tribal fusion for the company's productions. They also played in large musical productions and in smaller, more intimate venues. They played WOMAD in Seattle in 2001 as well as hundreds of other festivals and gatherings. Gypsy Rain is from their 2008 album Migration. It appears that the supporting band for the Gypsy Caravan Dance Company features some of the same players and is currently known as The Caravan Project.
