Fanfare Ciocarlia – the legends of gypsy brass

USA Anniversary Tour

Friday, April 22, 2016 • 8:00pm, Town Hall, New York City

 

“Their impossibly fast and frenetic style is infectious”

— The New Yorker

Fanfare Ciocārlia, one of the world’s greatest Roma (Gypsy) brass bands, brings their relentless energy and ingenuity to Town Hall for an exclusive and first-time collaboration with Eugene Hütz, front man for the wild and popular band Gogol Bordello.
Fanfare Ciocārlia is a large brass ensemble from Northeastern Romania whose eastern funk groove has electrified halls and festivals across the planet. Their energy and ingenuity have won them fans from Melbourne to Memphis, Tokyo to Toulouse. Having learned their craft at the feet of their fathers and grandfathers Fanfare’s members proudly approach every concert as a challenge to both entertain audiences and keep the spirit of Roma music alive. The artists span several generations and continue to play weddings and other celebrations in their region. In Romanian, Fanfare means brass band and Ciocarlia means lark, the name of a signature Romanian tune imitating the bird.
