Taraf de Akácfa is a Budapest-based group that performs a unique interpretation of Romanian, Transylvanian, and Balkan folk music. The group was formed by traveling street musicians who met in Hungary. Over the years, the members traveled to the regions of origin of the music they are passionate about. They have had the opportunity to learn from some of the finest living Roma musicians, including Taraf de Haïdouks and Marcel Ramba. They mix their knowledge and different musical backgrounds to blend traditional styles with new ideas and arrangements. Their repertoire ranges from danceable Macedonian cočeks and complex odd-time Bulgarian melodies to Romanian Gypsy horas and heart-wrenching Transylvanian songs. Taraf de Akácfa is: Lulu Starr (violin), Johannes Olsson (accordion) Valentin Desmarais (double bass), & Isaac Misri (guitar).
ALL RESERVATIONS ARE WILL-CALL.
