Gypsy singer Vasily Yankovich Vasily came here in 1991 from Russia. “I came for the freedoms of America. I used to work in a famous gypsy theater in Moscow,” he says. “It was the Romana Theatre, where I played guitar and sang. It was a big group, with 75 musicians and dancers.”

Vasily started his New York-based band in 1995, when the Moscow cabaret was here. “In our band we have balalaika, guitar, accordion, a show group of four to five dancers, a violin, and sometimes the Hungarian instrument called a cymbol, which is like strings.”

Gypsy singer Vasily Yankovich They’ve performed for several plays at La Mama Theatre. “One show was ‘The Brothers Karamazov’ and the other was ‘The Defense of Prague.’ Now they’re going to make a movie, and we have been invited to play for that too.”

They’ve played Russian weddings in Brooklyn International Cabaret, and in The Russian Samovar, where they also play often for celebrations and holidays and for parties with high profile guests like Oscar De La Renta and Barbara Walters. They’ve also performed on “The Late Late Show” with Conan O’Brien.

Gypsy singer Vasily Yankovich “Gypsy music is special,” says Vasily. “In the 19th century gypsys were popular and famous for their beautiful, bright costumes. In Russia, people invite gypsys to weddings because they bring luck and good fortune.

“When I perform at the opening of a play or a new business, their business goes very well. We definitely bring luck to people. The American who sponsored me when I came here opened his own travel business, and we played for him at his opening party,” says Vasily. “He told us we brought him a lot of luck".

Gypsy singer from New York “We are so happy to be able to give people our energy, our talent, the beauty of our musical arts, and the gypsy rhythm. This is my job, to make people happy.”
