Description: The ancient game of Bari Hukni - the Great Trick - is one that has been played by Gypsies for thousands of years.

lyrics

It’s certain I was praying, in the chapel; in the moment you speak of, I was learning to see
I am, you know, a pilgrim, true to my religion, a converted Gypsy, with a soul that’s now free

Across the land we call to Hukni; blowing dust you can’t see
In your eyes the spell of Hukni, comes to unmask your greed

We walk with other pilgrims; with proof of our penance, with relics of value, we see every saint’s face
The shrines we see are many, full of great potential, I am a newborn Gypsy, and I now know my place

Across the land we call to Hukni; blowing dust you can’t see
In your eyes the curse of Hukni, comes to expose your greed

about

Patrick Jasper Lee Wales, UK

I am something of an activist with my music & literature. As an indigenous Rom Gypsy my cultural and artistic work explores the highs and lows of life/soul. I champion tribal origins, and the underdog in our modern times. I am tired of what this society tends to throw at us, especially innocent folk. I believe the awesome beauty of nature & the arts remains our only hope in this chaotic world. ... more
