From record label:
"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 from 20 to 78, they had never performed outside their region before they were "discovered" by Stéphane Karo & 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."
More from record label:
"Taraf de Haïdouks's third album was recorded in their home environment of Clejani and in nearby Bucharest. Just like its predecessors, it was produced by Stefan Karo, Michel Winter and CramWorld producer/engineer Vincent Kenis. But this time the Taraf have invited a series of guests to appear with them: the musicians from Mîrsa with their characteristic call-and-response vocal style, the ursari (who descend from the brotherhood of the bear-tamers), Rosioru, the master of Valachian Gypsy crooners, as well as Viorica, a remarkable female vocalist. Great performances by these musafirii (guests) and by the entire, regular line-up of the Taraf all contribute to make
Dumbala Dumba a fresh, warm, intimate and poetic album..."
"I recently met them during the shooting of 'The Man Who Cried'. For me they are a model in the way they approach life. Despite all that they went through -- I'm talking about racism against Gypsies which went on for centuries and still exists today -- these guys can play a music which express the most intense joy. They have this gift to make you feel alive. They are among the most extraordinary people I ever met."
Johnny Depp (in Studio Magazine)
"Taraf de Haïdouks is one of my very favorite groups. Their passionate, earthly sound is filled with ecstasy and sadness. They take their listeners to the essence of music: that place where the bow meets the string and a world of action follows. As a member of Kronos I admire the wealth of feelings Taraf de Haïdouks create. As a violonist I love this wild place they inhabit."
David Harrington, Kronos Quartet
