Description

Taraf De Haïdouks - Band of Gypsies

Recorded in Bucharest during three special concerts in December 2000, this is the 4th album by “the best Gypsy band in the world” (as recently described by UK daily The Independent). Forever eager to expand the scope of their music, Taraf have decided to confront their styles to those of musicians from other Balkan countries by inviting Gypsy virtuosos from Macedonia, Bulgaria and Turkey to join them on stage, which resulted in magical and exciting blends. Alongside these ambitious compositions, the album features a series of pieces (all previously unrecorded) which will immerse the listener in the fantastic atmosphere of a Taraf de Haïdouks live performance. All the band’s various soloists sound on top form, and particularly electrified by the importance of the event, as these were the band’s first ever concerts in the Romanian capital. After ten years of international success and high-profile associations with the likes of Kronos Quartet, fashion designer Yamamoto and actor Johnny Depp, the Taraf were still not recognized in their own country, possibly because they are perceived as Gypsies rather than as musicians...
