Calderash

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kalderash (also Kalderaš , Kalderash , Kalderasha , Kalderara , Kelderara ) is the name of a group of Roma who specialized in the craft of coppersmiths . The name Kalderaš is derived from the Romanian word căldărar 'boiler maker ' (to căldare 'boiler').

Originally particularly in Romania , but also at home in all of Southeastern Europe, the Kalderascha groups turned to the west and are now probably the most widespread subgroup of the Roma worldwide. A number of calderashas also live in Germany , many of which came from Poland after the Second World War , and some also emigrated to the United States . The Austrian Kalderaš came mainly as guest workers from the Serbia area from the 1960s onwards ; they are considered to be quite well integrated.

The Kalderascha language belongs to the Vlax dialects of Romanes , but is divided into numerous sub-dialects.

The writer Matéo Maximoff achieved some fame under the French calderascha . Among the Swedish calderashas, Dimitri Taikon was not only head of a large family association, but also stood out for his storytelling. There are extensive records of his interpretations of Roma fairy tales as well as his own versions of fairy tales and myths from his host countries. Katarina Taikon became known as a children's book author . She campaigned for the Roma movement in Sweden.
