Free Music Notes for Taraf de Haïdouks
Free Music Review: Unique,Wild,Rustic,Varied,
Hit: 5 Stars
No other recorded gypsy band sounds anything like these guys.They'll do absolutely anything to their instruments to get an interesting sound out of it.The vocalists don't sing, so much as, wail.There's cimbaloms, violins, vocals, flutes, accordions...etc, and the mal-usage of all these.If you try to find technical merit to any of this, your brain will explode, because sense has no place in their approach.They're NUTS!(Though,each track has an underpinning of rhythm and melody, so there must be 'some' sanity in them).
This cd is so exciting.In the music, you can feel their love for the lifestyle and community.
Free Music Review: Wow! What a wild ride!
Hit: 5 Stars
This exceptional recording is as far as you can get from commercial world music. Although impeccably recorded, there are no hip-hop overlays or added studio gloss. Turn it on and you're transported to a backstreet in Romania where a bunch of guys (three generations of master musicians to be precise) are singing and playing their hearts out.The music on the CD is sad and happy, silly and poignant, but always performed with great virtuosity.
If you love the blues, bluegrass, soul, or klezmer you'll find much to love on this CD.
PS: These are the guys featured in Latcho Drom.
Free Music Review: Wow! So this is Romany. WOW!
Hit: 5 Stars
When I purchased this CD I was doing a lot of research into the Romany (gypsy) culture, and somehow came across Taraf de Haidouks. I got ahold of a copy, and haven't gone a week since without playing it at least twice (and that was over a year ago). No, I don't speak the language, but you don't need to, to enjoy this music. My favorite piece on the CD is "Hora Ca La Ursari" which I understand was used or is about the Romany bear trainers. It, and many others on the CD, will set your feet tapping in a way you've not experienced before!Free Music Review: YEHAAAAAAA
Hit: 5 Stars
I am 21 years old, was born in Romania and moved to Canada 12 years ago. I remember this music from wedding, parties and even in the car. If you want to know the true spirit of a Romanian party then get this CD, if you do not want to move to it then check your pulse. I love this music as it is so full of life, without the need for a polished glossy studio make over. I remember get toghethers at my Grandmas farm when the neighbors would break out the acordion and fiddle and play this type of music. It was a wonderful flashback to a wonderful countryFree Music Review: Fantastic
Hit: 5 Stars
I was skeptical at first but took the chance, and I'm glad I did. What a CD! Hora Ca La Ursari is agreeably best song on the CD. Not only am I going to buy the rest of Taraf De Haidouks' CDs but my friends are too! With a sound you can actually call music this CD is inspiring and fun. It makes you want to learn to play the fiddle, if you only had the time... '
Buy it, don't think twice, there is no need. You won't regret it.
