Tatcho Drom

Balkan Magic

About Me


German-born violinist Gundula could well have been raised in the Balkans, for her playing imparts the true soul of Gypsy music, bursting with colour and passion, an explosion of energy… They perform a wonderful and virtuoso repertoire of traditional Gypsy, folk and klezmer pieces from Eastern Europe and the Balkans in touching arrangements alongside compositions of Gundula. Tatcho Drom have performed concerts, festivals and other events in London and around the UK, and have also appeared on television and radio. Recent sessions include a documentary for TRT/Turkish state television and appearances on Resonance Radio and SW1 Radio.
They take their audience on a voyage of discovery through Eastern Europe and the Balkans. Listeners are enchanted by the wild rhythms, deeply touching melodies, thrilling complexity of the music - but it's the passionate performance and the rapport between these musicians that brings across such amazing joy and positive energy.
