Taraf de Caliu - Caliu is the man with the violin...disciple of the great Nicolae "Culai" Neacsu (https://www.theguardian.com/new...
and before this Caliu he was part of the famous Taraf de Haïdouks https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ta…
This is gipsy music, they are called "lăutari" playing traditional Romani music from Romania and the Balkans, these guys toured the entire world from New Zealand to L.A. they are well recognised by celebrities, heads of state and the best musicians in the world.
In around Fall 2018 I had the pleasure to sit with them at the same table, cooking barbecue and listening to their stories, you won't find more humble and talented musicians.
- btw first in this video you see Caliu playing with a horse' string on the violin before switching to full violin********
- they learn all these songs by ear! from father to son, each generation in the family learns to play at the same instruments********
- they play all the instruments until they brake, all instruments passed down generation to generation********
- In the western world, only guitar guys play at this level, when you hear the term "my guitar gently weeps" by Santana or something, you't get the idea********

- I'm ashamed to admit that whilst I was aware of the name, I'd never actually listened to any of their stuff prior to this.
It's fucking great!Nairn - How could I never have listened to them?
Especialylas they appear to be a sideproject/offshoot to GSYBE.
I'm hella ignant sometimes.Nairn - there's too much music around to catch everything mate. We need some time out to catch up sometimes.Ianbolton
