Taraf De Haidouks (1998)

The Taraf de Haïdouks is a group of Gypsy "Lautari" (traditional musicians) who come from the little Romanian village of Clejani. A dozen brilliant instrumentalists and singers, with ages ranging roughly from 20 to 80, they had never performed outside their region before they were "discovered" by Stéphane Karo and Michel Winter, two young Belgian music fans who fell in love with their music during a trip to Romania in 1990, and who decided to try to share this passion with the rest of the world.
