Fanfare Ciocarlia - "Radio Pascani"

Description

The scratches! The bumps! The bruises! The scars! Oh, what an honourable patina the instruments of this masterful Romany Brass Band from Moldavian Zece Prajani (Ten Fields) in northeastern Romania have acquired over the years. Says bandleader Ioan Ivancea proudly: We are one of the last ensembles of our kind where we come from and we are the fastest of them all! Which he means quite seriously, and understandably so: what are they all about, those wild local parties at which the Fanfare Ciocârlia play? Answer: good outrageous fun for days and days and all the exuberance in the world. Mr. Ivancea and his band of all ages (22 to 68 years old) mix up all the required Romanian, Turkish, Macedonian, Serbian and Oriental dances from Sorba, the Hora and the Brou to shreds of the current international radio hits. And when the necessary melancholic moment comes with only two or three players whispering their deep blues they do that in the most skillful way too. DOWNLOAD NOW AT:
