The Manusha (People) is the music band in which the professional musicians play, the project being initiated by a Slovak singer Júlia Kozáková. Ľubomír Gašpar plays a cimbalom, Viliam Didiáš plays a violin, Vojtech Bélu Botoš plays a viola and Ján Rigo plays a double-bass. With financial support of the Fund for minority culture SR and The Bratislava Self-Governing Region the band released the album with the same title. Ten compositions are the traditional Romani songs arranged specifically by the band's members, introducing also elements of the Hungarian Romani music.
The photos were taken during documenting The Manusha band as a part of the project of documentation of the Romani family cimbalom bands.
