Fanfare Ciocarlia: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Музыка
Truth be told, I was scared. We've stuffed a lot of musicians behind the Tiny Desk, but when I saw Fanfare Ciocarlia (pronounced "fan-FAR-eh cho-car-LEE-ah") at Globalfest the week before the band arrived at NPR, I couldn't fathom how we'd corral these 12 musicians and their various assorted horns and drums into that truly tiny space.
But the day this joyous Balkan brass band from the Romanian village of Zece Prăjini came to play, it was one of the happiest days I've experienced at our new building. From wedding songs to American rock 'n' roll to the occasional James Bond theme, the group plays at a pace that would make the Ramones burst into a sweat. When you get hooked and want more, find Fanfare Ciocarlia's new record, Devil's Tale. It will help make your parties the stuff of blissful memories. --BOB BOILEN
Set List
"Sirba De La Monastirea"

I was at one of their concerts in Toronto, ON, years ago. After the concert, the band ended up playing on the street downtown Toronto and the party continued. One of my happiest memories.

They did something similar when I saw them: got the audience to follow them out of the theatre and into the foyer where they kept playing, and then a wedding party showed up and danced the traditional dancing. They just kept playing and passing the hat around. It was brilliant.
man, im telling you, i am in a deep pit of sadness right now but these 12 guys playing in a video made almost 5 years ago now has brought me to tears of joy

Not being very familiar with their contemporary activity, I'm telling you that this is because most of them cannot read any music sheets. This was or maybe even today is their charisma. They play and learn by heart. There were many bands like this, but sadly they all dissapeared, but there are still some like: Taraf de Haidouks, Taraf de Caliu, etc. and there are bands similar to this style and background from Hungary, Bugaria, Serbia etc.
I lucked out and saw them in Seattle. I traveled to Romania later just to hear this type music, Was not disappointed to see Rai Banda playing at an ethnic music festival there. Balkan Brass Band music is fantastic and Fanfare Ciocarlia is the best. "Donate" money toward their new album. They support themselves through live performance, so they are hurting bad during covid. Save this excellent music. Thank you Borat for getting them paid. They are not from Kazakhistan. Romania.

Considering you are a wonderful audience that appreciates any kind of good music, even music from Moldolva and oriental-gipsy music from Romania, I have the pleasure to present you this band from Romania-Moldova here to sing the most appreciated folk songs from that region.

Saw one of their concerts in Dornbirn (Austria) years ago. One of my best concert experiences forever. After the gig they continued playing ABBA's "Money, Money,Money" in the foyer and passed a hat around to collect some more money. Splendid!

i would love to join them for dinner, the stories and the drinks..
Какая харизма! Какой позитив! От этих исполнителей исходит огромный поток энергии! Народная румынско - молдавская, карпатская музыка - обладает особым свойством подзаряжать слушателя и провоцировать на танец! Чрезвычайно энергитическая музыка! Спасибо этому коллективу и больших творческих успехов!

Real men, playing real instruments, creating great music. Ya canna whack it.
Just love it, and because we are wandering around the Balkans this summer, I think their home village is going to get a visit from me! I play Irish music and there is a very similar vibe here: learning it by ear, listening to each other's beat and feeling it in your gut. And you dance! But the incredible thing is that these guys go at 200mph and don't miss a single beat, whether it's 7/8 or 11/8. That is remarkable playing and it comes from doing it day after day after day and still loving the glorious chaos that you are producing. Chapeau!
I had the pleasure to see them perform live at a gypsy music festival , maaan it was a blast!
this is old music, where kids were trained as apprentices to their masters. It's a family thing but this doesn't mean they were playing on their I phones..., this is the work of hours of playing on a daily basis. It's the only way to achieve any sort of success...
beautiful culture, would love to learn everything about this style of music.

The first 2 are very old traditional Romanian songs. They re usually played at weddings and people dance to them, usually in a circle that moves around very fast. You need to be very fit to keep up lol. The second song “Lume, lume” was made famous by Maria Tanase, the first big star of traditional Romanian music back in the 1930s. Look her up on KZread. Also look up Taraf de Haidouks, Fărâmița Lambru, Țoni Iordache, Gabi Lunca for more 🇷🇴 music goodness. Cheers from Bucharest ✌🏻
