Free Music Review: THE REAL STUFF
Hit: 5 Stars
Why didn't I come across this band before! I love eastern European music --klezmer, Ivo Papasov, Yuri Yanakov-- and I love kicking bands. Taraf de Haidouks definitely kicks! On "The Return of the Magic Horses," they start off at furious pace --violin, woodwinds, cymbalum, double bass and accordion-- and never flag, handing the lead from one instrument to another, over and over, without any hitch in the tempo and no letting up of intensity. The band plays simultaneously tight and loose in ensemble, separate instruments weaving their own lines around each other, following each other's lead but each one creating a niche of sound and melody. But it is the vocals that appeal to me most: the sweet romantic "Little Buds," the trading off of vocals in the marvelous "Absinthe I Drink You, Absinthe I Eat You," and in "Green Leaf, Cover Leaf" and "Sorrow, Only My Sorrow." When I listen to this magical recording it brings memories of my father-in-law singing around the house in Slovak. The musicianship of the members of this band, and their guests for the concerts, is exceptional. I am especially impressed by Neculae Neacsu's playfully pizzicato violin solos on the first and last cuts ("Dance of the Firemen" and "Back to Clewjani") and the lightning fast accordion playing of Ionel "Ionitsa" Manole ("A Gypsy Had a House," "A Stork Crosses the Danube..." and "Green Leaf, Cover Leaf"). The cymbalum, which I've considered a musical instrument designed by a committee --part percussion, part zither-- fits here!
