The wildest brass orchestra on the planet and a musical phenomenon from the remotest corner of Romania. A band of speed demons, laughing their way across the roughest musical terrain. They rave, they roar, they rage Wherever and whenever Fanfare Ciocarlia blow their cheeks, nobody stands still no matter how cool they pretend to be Their instruments, bearing the marks of the previous decades, have lost their shine and gained their own patina. With them Fanfare Ciocarlia set off a musical firework display, displaying an unbelievable talent for intricate rhythms and dizzy tempos. Traditional Romanian dances and rhythms from Turkey, Bulgaria and Macedonia are played on horns, trumpets, clarinets and timpani.

After 4 years of successful touring with The Gypsy Queens and Kings the speed
demons of Gypsy Brass are getting ready for their next clou: BALKAN BRASS BATTLE
- Fanfare Ciocarlia vs Boban and Marko Markovic
