World-famous guitarist Paulus returns home at night to the camp in Gerwen
Program maker Merlijn Passier visits the Romani camp in Gerwen during the second season of his show, meeting world-renowned gypsy-jazz guitarist Paulus Schäfer. Despite international fame with the Rosenberg Trio, Schäfer and his family still reside on the camps in Nuenen and Gerwen, where they host lively afterparties for visiting guests like Passier. Schäfer addresses common prejudices against the community by inviting people to summer jam sessions, emphasizing that family is central to their lives. He also reflects on the trauma of the war and concentration camps experienced by his grandparents, noting that this history influences their music, though he prefers not to dwell on the details.
