Balkan Gipsy Night with Taraf Aurel Budisteanu

Aurel BudiȘteanu, Costel Ursulet, nicolas Hauzeur, Dimitris Rossidis, ZOLI Kekenj on Vocals: ELENA Romanita, Dimitris Rossidis Musique gypsy from Romania 100% Brussels, From the 30s to the beginning of the 90s, Romanian popular music experienced great phases of success abroad. In the 30s, Bucharest was named little Paris, and tango or cabaret tunes traveled from east to west, whether you were Piaff or Maria Tanase. In the 70s, the presence of the flutist George Zamfir or the composer Vladimir Cosma made several Romanian themes popular, including that of the Grand Blond with a black shoe". Then, at the end of the Ceaucescu era, it was the Belgian Stephane Karo who pushed the Taraf de Haidouks to international fame from Brussels where they perform discreetly, while the films of Gatliff or Kusturica make the gypsy soul of the Balkans burst onto the screen. Le Taraf Budișteanu makes us relive this extraordinary epic of popular and gypsy music of Bucharest. With the accordion virtuoso Aurel Budisteanu, the magic of the cimbalom of Costel Ursulet, Zoli Kekenj on double bass and Dimitris Rossidis on guitar and vocals. https://youtu.be/AID3pbVtJpU?si=yvUTzjV7TbEJA4wd Art Base, Thursday 22/10/26 8 PM, 20E (reduced 15E for students under 26 and jobseekers), 29 rue des Sables Zandstraat, 1000 Brussels.
