More and more Roma and other refugees who have fled their native land are trying to earn a living by playing music on the streets of West European countries. Many of these artists such as the 25 year-old violinist Stevo Lacea who fled from Rumania with his wife to Paris receive no permits to allow them to play music on the streets . (Inmost continental European countries a permit is required which allowsa musician to play on the street) Stevo said now in particular! I need and have to earn my living by playing the violin.
