“The music is simultaneously raw and virtuosic,
implacable and giddy.”
—New York Times

Three generations of Roma (Gypsy) musicians from a small community near Bucharest perform the spirited music of village life, an expression of irrepressible vitality despite a history of hardship. Dazzling energy and exhilarating virtuosity mark everything from heartfelt laments to swirling dances, from throaty vocals to vertiginous fiddle work, accordion, çimbal (dulcimer), pipes and double bass. The music of this “band of brigands,” as their name loosely translates, was featured in the film Latcho Drom.
