Straight out of Clejani and fuelled by pure Gypsy fire,
Taraf de Haïdouks are an absolute must-see for all fans of folk music of any kind. Formed in Romania shortly before the death of Ceausescu, the groups live barrage of searing Balkan heat can involve anything from ten to thirty band members.
Providing solid support will be Naat Veliov’s Macedonian brass band
Kočani Orkestar, whose Gypsy tunes and Turkish rhythms make for a seriously funky take on the Balkan tradition.
