Here's my humble take on it.
Most people associate Gypsy music with a great jazz guitarist from the
30's and 40's - Django Reinhardt.
That style is often referred to as "Gypsy jazz". =A0 Jerry dug Django.
Gypsies (Rroma) are a race of people originally fom India who have
migrated all over the world, and have kept their culture and language
intact. =A0 They have no more homeland and basically distrust outsiders
or "Gadje".
In the U.S. you may see them at "Storefront psychic" locations.
Where they have settled they have developed different styles of music.
Flamenco in Spain for example.
Do a search on Google using the words Rroma or Roma, Gypsy jazz, or
Django Reinhardt.

That is where I heard it from.
On a jazz radio station. They were talking about how a Gypsy jazz
special was going to be on. I did not catch the time that it would be
on. I just thought that if there was Gypsy jazz then there might be all
types of Gypsy music.
