5.0 out of 5 stars Good, but not entirely gypsy, May 1, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Gypsies of Romania (Audio CD)

I was surprised to recognize many Romanian folk songs. There are some gypsy songs, but I find the title is a misrepresentation. The first song is clearly gypsy, but the second is actually a beautiful "doina" from the Banat region. The third song is from Transylvania. The list goes on.
The music is beautiful and from Romania - but mostly not gypsy. I guess I made the point...

This review is from: Gypsies of Romania (Audio CD)

The website "[...]" offered the following description of this recording:

"Taraful din Baia - Gypsy Music of Romania - Transylvania, Banat

"Taraful din Baia with the typical instrumentation of two violins, accordion and taragot (folk oboe) presents Romanian Gypsy music. The majority of the music is from Banat where Serb influence is present. The songs of that area are mostly laments whereas the typical Gypsy songs from Transylvania are lively and cheerful. Taraful din Baia is an active touring group playing at births, baptisms, weddings and funerals."
