Band of Gypsies
Taraf De Haidouks / Warner
By Charles
The Taraf De Haidouks take their electrifying 13-piece band of Lautari musicians from Clejani, Romania to neighboring Bucharest for three unforgettable nights before a roaring crowd of faithful fans. The Gypsy Romani rhythm, and at times pan-Balkanic musical repertoire, kept the place buzzing leaving Gypsy music fans of all ages wanting more. If you aren’t familiar with the Taraf De Haidouks, don't be alarmed. Just imagine walking through a time portal linking you to a 10th century Medireview tavern somewhere in Eastern Europe. The atmosphere is jubilant, exhilarating, and refreshingly free-spirited. A band of modest Gypsy musicians, with their violins, accordions, cymbalums, flutes, clarinets, tubas, and scintillating harmony vocals, parade the stage festively performing for no other reason than for the love of music. Take a seat back and enjoy a beautiful form of music played out to virtuoso perfection by the Taraf De Haidouks. The "Band of Gypsies" is yet another reminder to us all that classic forms of music, cultural or otherwise, are truly timeless.
