Editorial Reviews

The ultimate DVD by the finest, wildest & most soulful Balkan Gypsy band. Various aspects of the band's outstanding history and talents are explored in The Continuing Adventures of: there's an exciting Taraf concert filmed in London's Union Chapel; an extensive documentary shot in Romania; interviews with the band and with some of its distinguished fans (such as Johnny Depp), rare archive material filmed during the Taraf's travels around the world, and a bonus, 50-minute live audio CD.

What a fabulous CD!! Listening to a Taraf cd is one thing, but to actually see them perform is a transcendental experience. The jaw-dropping virtuosity and presence of the Taraf make this cd truly enchanting and a must have for any gypsy music fan.

Highly Recommended.

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Taraf de Haidouks/Continuing Adventures (Audio CD)

This is everything a music DVD should be: it leaves you with a complete sense of where this band have come from (deepest, poorest rural Romania); a feeling for the individual band members after hearing them talk in their own words (the one band member trying to remember the names of his nine children brings a smile to your face); the jaw-dropping musicianship; their life on the road (lost-looking at first to being cocky by the London gig); etc,etc......... But above all, it is the jaw-dropping musicianship. Travelling around the world with Taraf (with the help of this DVD) is highly recommended. The only down side is the celebrity endorsement by the omipresent Brad Pitt (nice, but the rest of the DVD is so damned good, you don't need it).

Well shot and edited, and with a bonus live CD - near perfect.
