Fanfare Ciocarlia

The Gypsy Brass Legends

About Me

FANFARE CIOCARLIA - the wildest brass orchestra on the planet and a musical phenomenon from the remotest corner of Romania. A band of speed demons, laughing their way across the roughest musical terrain. They rave, they roar, they rage! Wherever and whenever Fanfare Ciocarlia blow their cheeks, nobody stands still – no matter how cool they pretend to be! Their instruments, bearing the marks of the previous decades, have lost their shine and gained their own patina. With them Fanfare Ciocarlia set off a musical firework display, displaying an unbelievable talent for intricate rhythms and dizzy tempos. Traditional Romanian dances and rhythms from Turkey, Bulgaria and Macedonia are played on horns, trumpets, clarinets and timpani. ____________________________________________________________ _

CD "Gili Garabdi" (2005)
...when the enslavement of Romania..s Gypsies officially ended in 1864 tens of thousand fled the nation for new horizons. Several thousand landed in the United States, often settling in the black ghettoes of the Southern US states, where they continued to make music. Ioan, Fanfare Ciocarlia..s oldest member and group historian, once answered when asked if jazz was a big influence on the Fanfare, "Who..s to say our cousins who went to the US didn..t help invent jazz?" On Ancient Secrets this matter and other mysteries of Gypsy magic are set forth.
