'Hailing from the secluded village of Zece Prajini in mountainous eastern Romania, near the Moldovan border, Fanfare Ciocarlia embodies all the bravura and vertiginous speed of Roman Gypsy brass band music. The band has become an international sensation since the world music network first caught wind of their hyper horn hoe downs, typically clocking in at a feverish 150 beats per minute. Playing a mixture of styles from the Balkans, the band plays with demonic speed. Their high-spirited music comprises a lively blend of traditional dances from Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Macedonia and Turkey played on horns, trumpets, clarinets and timpani. As well as from their own traditional music, the group take up current melodies from movies between Bollywood and Hollywood as well as adapting international radio hits to Fanfare Ciocarlia's very own style.'

'Among the year's standout memories: Two brilliant gypsy ensembles Fanfare Ciocarlia and Taraf de Haidouks - whipped through irrepressibly rhythmic music, proving that it's possible to play fast and from the heart at the same time.'
LA Times

'Fanfare Ciocarlia, whose members vary greatly in age, is one of the last and best of it's kind. The band doesn't grate on the ears the way some New Orleans Brass bands tend to do after a while, and it's repertoire and arrangements sound more diverse. Rather, it comes across as a Gipsy/Klezmer band without strings and bellows, and as one that can play, at breakneck speed without missing a step.'
