Established in 1985 in Nagyecsed (Szatmár county) by Oláh Gypsy musicians. 1989 they moved to Budapest and are now recognized as one of the best Gypsy folk groups in Hungary today. They have also contributed to the soundtrack of Romani Kris.

From label:
"I have been following the path of this band - sometimes from afar, sometimes as a helping hand - since their first record 15 years ago. Sometimes their path has been smooth, sometimes so bumpy that they had to stop and rest on the edge of a ditch. They have had great experiences and also setbacks along the way. but perhaps now they have gotten rolling again. They have pulled the family together: the relatives from the villages of Börvely and Piskolt (Berveni and Piscolt in Romania near the northeastern border of Hungary) with the Budapest branch of the family. They have (so-to-speak) cleaned and oiled the wheels of their Gypsy wagon and the family band is ready to set out on the road again. With new energy and lots of experience, their Gypsy-Hungarian-Romanian musical language has been refreshed, but keeping its variety and wild colors. I wish Románi-Rotá lot of momentum to take them to new heights."
