BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) — Tudor Lakatos is fighting discrimination against Romania’s Roma minority through the music of Elvis Presley.
Dressed in a rhinestone shirt and oversized sunglasses, Lakatos performs unique versions of Elvis’ hits in a mix of Romani, Romanian and English.
But don’t call him an Elvis impersonator. Lakatos says he “channels” Elvis as a way to connect with people from both communities and provide a role model for Roma children after centuries of discrimination and poverty.
