Ida Kelarová and her Romany children’s choir Chavorenge
Ida Kelarová is a singer, musician and choirmaster who performs some of
the best Romany music to come out of the Czech Republic. Paradoxically it
was years before she discovered her Romany roots and drew inspiration from
Roma culture and music. Today this legacy has become an important part of
her life and she works hard to help talented Romany children living in
excluded localities in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Her Romany
children's choir Chavorenge, established 10 years ago, tours the
country and cooperates with the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra. But above all
it has given dozens of Romany children a glimpse of a better life and the
ambition to make the most of their talents. Chavorenge’s debut album Hej
Romale, was recorded with the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra in 2018.
