Kalbelia

Kalbelia
   Nomads in Rajasthan, also known as Sapera, one of whose occupations is snake charming. They are considered by many scholars to be close cousins of the European Romanies. Kalbelia dancers have appeared several times in western Europe with folk dance groups from India. Gulab and Mera, who danced with the Sur-nai Company in Rajasthan, came to London and performed at the Albert Hall in March 1986. They also appear in the first part of the documentary film Latcho drom [Good Road].
