O Devel

Frank Wekenmann

Does anybody know who the composer of "O Devel" is, or if it is a traditional, public domaine tune?

I'll try again! Unfortunately, there are no song credits on Denis' videos of Tcha, which I purchased. My band would like to bring the song out on record and I need to know who (if anybody) to credit.

There's no one to credit. Often, the Sinti take a popular song and add lyrics to it and change it in one way or another. Paulus Schäfer's mother told Irene Ypenburg that she came up with the lyrics, and that it was from an old Dutch pop song

Very interesting, I always wondered about the history of that song.

Thank you Denis!!
