This film featured many instruments that have similarities to those we have already studied. Several of the cultures depicted had instruments that were similar to the Chinese Erhu and used a bow to derive sound. There were also several lute instruments that resonated sound through a gourd, much like a sitar. These instruments also sound similar to the Japanese Samisen and the Chinese Pipa. The gypsy percussion even used gourds as percussion, by blowing into them and then putting them down and hitting the side, giving the music an exotic rhythm. A western violin was found in one of the middle eastern cultures, but it was used much differently in the music than in the West. It is clear that dance is a big part of the musical culture as well. The director depicted the gypsies as a culture that absorbed other styles of music by flashing back to the other cultures through the day dreams of a little girl in one scene, and also through the depiction of their travels and similar instruments. I thought this film was very well edited and cleverly constructed to show a variety of cultures of music in an area. It accented the similarities through smooth transitions from place to place, leaving the viewer wondering where the movie will go next.
