The members of the band Manusha (People) are professional musicians. The music project had been initiated by the Slovak singer Julia Kozakova; the musicians are Lubomir Gaspar on cimbalom, Viliam Didias on violin, Vojtech “Belu” Botos on viola and Jan Rigo on double-bass. In 2022, with the support of the Fund for Development of the National Minorities’ Culture in SR, and The Bratislava Self-Governing Region, the band released the album with the same name. The album presents 10 songs – all of them are the traditional Romani songs, played in arrangements by Manusha.
In 2022, the Documentation and Information Centre of the Romani Culture began to document the Romani cimbalom bands, especially those which carry on the family musical tradition.
Mesh-up of two songs, Kašate (In Košice) and Mek ča dural avľom (I Was Still Far Away), both of them slow and sad, so called halgato.
