Taraf de Haidouks
Gypsy Music of Romania
Performers in GYPSY CARAVAN concert film
Taraf de Haidouks' invigorating music represents the full richness of the Transylvanian folk tradition performed in its unique Gypsy style. The group, whose name translates as "band of brigands," first came to worldwide attention through its participation in the award-winning film Latcho Drom, and later received accolades as part of WMI's 1999 Gypsy Caravan Tour which toured North America. The 11-member troupe, spanning three generations and ranging in age from 20 to 78, performs on fiddles, accordions, cymbaloms (hammered dulcimers), bass and vocals.
