FANFARE CIOCARLIA is an eleven-man brass and woodwind band
that comes from the village of Zece Prajini, near the Romanian-Moldavian
border. Their music combines Romanian, Gypsy and Turkish influences,
even elements of klezmer. The group's three CDs have enjoyed huge
success, and they have appeared on festival stages all over the world,
as well as playing on film soundtracks for artists such as Goran Bregovic
and Emir Kusturica. "We're one of the last, and we're the fastest of them
all!" says the group's leader, Ioan Ivancea. Fanfare Ciocarlia truly deserves
the title of the fastest and perhaps the craziest of the Romani brass bands.
