Bravo for the Brigands

In class this week we raved about Roma musicians and may have even name-checked one of our very favorite Roma band, Taraf de Haidouks — “Band of Brigands.”

Taraf de Haidiouks is composed of 11 Roma musicians from the town of Clejani, Romania. Celebrating Roma music gives us a chance to marvel at our friendly brigands’ spirit as they channel centuries of Roma survival in every song. In this video, “Rustem,” these virtuosos strut their stuff.
