Black Train Band

About Me

The Black Train Band consists of accomplished, gifted and professional musicians in Sydney originating from different parts of the world, which make them a fantastic combination! The members of the band have been involved with many other musicians and have recorded many CDs and have also composed and arranged music. Listening to this band will enhance your knowledge, admiration, love and respect towards music from the different cultures. The exceptionally rich harmony in the Gypsy music that Black Train plays, expresses and weaves in the traditions and the hardships endured by the Gypsies nomadic lives, broken and forbidden love affairs, suffering and struggles with everyday existence.The band’s temperaments and professionalism allow them to express themselves freely and to improvise phrases instantly. The music is full of ecstatic rhythm, melody, tempo, emotion, and feeling.Stole and the Black Train Band would like to express our gratitude to our loyal followers, friends, audiences, also the Serbian and Australian Communities for their support over the years.p
