Balkan Gipsy Night Taraf Aurel Budișteanu Aurel Budișteanu, Costel Ursulet, Nicolas Hauzeur, Dimitris Rossidis, Zoli Kekenj Au singing: Elena Romanita, Dimitris Rossidis Musique 100% Brussels-based Romanian Gypsy, From the 30s until the beginning of the 90s, Romanian popular music experienced great phases of success abroad. In the 30s, Bucharest was named the little Paris, and tango or cabaret tunes traveled from east to west, whether one was Piaff or Maria Tanase. In the 70s, the presence of the flutist George Zamfir or the composer Vladimir Cosma would make 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 would push the Taraf de Haidouks to international celebrity from Brussels where they performed discreetly, while the films of Gatliff or Kusturica made the Gypsy soul of the Balkans burst onto the screen. Le Taraf Budișteanu makes us relive this extraordinary epic of the popular and Gypsy music of Bucharest.
