From record label:
"We are magicians of music and in Zece Prajini the ancient secrets of Gypsy magic live"
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..."

"In 2005 Fanfare issued Gili Garabdi: Ancient Secrets of Gypsy Brass that finds then ranging from the James Bond Theme to Duke Ellington, all the while sounding only like Fanfare. Constantly inventive and hugely entertaining, Fanfare Ciocarlia are Balkan master musicians."
Garth Cartwright

'Fanfare Ciocarlia, whose members vary greatly in age, is one of the last and best of it's kind. The band doesn't grate on the ears the way some New Orleans Brass bands tend to do after a while, and it's repertoire and arrangements sound more diverse. Rather, it comes across as a Gipsy/Klezmer band without strings and bellows, and as one that can play, at breakneck speed without missing a step.'
