About this user
Having a long musical tradition - both Saxon-Transilvanian based and Moldavian, with strong gipsy roots, Fanfara Transilvania (formed in Cugir, Romania) creates a mix between new and old, between the succesfull music of nowadays and the old Moldavian and Ardeal ,,hore'' or ,,doine''. They call the listener in a world that combines various cultures - the ancient Romanian village's and the city's suburbs', the one of the ''gaje's'' and the ''lautar'' gipsy comunities. With their music, 'Transilvania' steps over those differences, creating a vivid and colourful universe, where everyone can find a place. During last years, Fanfara played various festivals, such as Proetnica Sighisoara, The National Folklore Festival from Cismigiu, Bucuresti, The Brass bands and Tarafs Festival, The Village Museum, Bucuresti.
