Romani Girl is a song still considered the anthem of Slovak Roma. It relates to the period of the Second World War and the suffering of the Roma in labor and concentration camps. It's a slow and sad song. The Sabrosa band retains the rhythm and character of this song. The vocal-instrumental group Sabrosa was formed in the village of Raslavice in the district of Bardejov. It originally consisted of three singers and instrumentalists. At present, Sabrosa performs as a sister duo: Aneta Duždová - lead singer, Jana Duždová - guitar, singing.
