Catalogue: Gypsy and Balkan: "Iag Bari" - Fanfare Ciocarlia

Famed for their breakneck speed, the Romanian Gypsy Horns once more prove their incredible capacity to produce leg and heart-moving music of the finest sort. After two records of deliriously celebratory brass music an ever greater subtlety shows up. On the way back from the stages of the world to their village beyond the mountains they stopped over in Bucharest to record with the Romanian godfather of Oriental Pop, Dan Armeanca and others to give this album a special urban edge. With a bonus video clip trailing their full-length Fanfare film-documentary "IAG BARI - Brass on Fire".
