Juana Ghani
Juana Ghani is a band based in Salt Lake City, Utah, that performs a mix of Eastern and Central European and Romani influenced original music and Old World traditional folk songs combined with modern melodic punk. Juana Ghani's Gypsy punk music, generally played in a minor key, is more melodic, harmonious and traditional than the usual "punk" genre, but the lyrics reflect punk, often dark and at times macabre.
Juana Ghani interprets the musical heritage of the Romani people, performing musical arrangements using mainly amplified acoustic instruments rather than punk's electric instruments. Most of Juana Ghani's material is original and may be sung in one of several languages, including English, Romani, Hungarian, Slovene, Russian and Italian.
Juana Ghani is often accompanied by belly dancers, cirque performers and other interpretive dancers performing in the style of Flamenco and other traditional Romani or "Gypsy" styles, presenting raucous and energetic concert experiences.
