Fanfare Ciocărlia

A brass band heralding from Zece Prajini, Romania. Starting out as a local band that played at weddings and festivals, Fanfare Ciocarlia began recording and touring in 1996 when approached by a German producer. They are known for their dizzying speed and energy, playing traditional folk melodies from Romania and other eastern European countries.

Since they began touring, they have played over a thousand concerts in over 50 countries, and have released five albums.

    Nice work so far. Don't forget to blog about your listening presentation from last week. (Titles of pieces, composers, performers, recording information)
