*Fanfare Ciocarlia - Radio Pascani*
This 11-piece Romanian brass band plays a type of ecstatic, hyper, adrenaline-fueled gypsy music sometimes affectionately referred to as speed brass. After hearing just a couple of songs, it will not be hard to see why. This group is amazingly fast and tight, and their performances have a contagious energy that can be clearly felt whatever one's familiarity with the genre. The rhythm section consists of a couple of tubas and a lone bass drum, with the rest of the lineup composed of trumpets, clarinets, alto saxophones, and other horns. (It often sounds like there's a violin sawing away, but that isn't the case.) Most of the tunes are traditional pieces from Romania and neighboring lands -- the type of music that is played at rural weddings and ceremonies, and that has been for generations. However, this is clearly a living tradition: the performances are maniacally alive, and there isn't whiff of any sort of museum-grade preservationist ethic. Regardless of genre, music really doesn't get much faster or more delirious than what Fanfare Ciocarlia has to offer here. ~ William York, All Music Guide TRACK LISTINGS (01) [Fanfare Ciocărlia] Radio Paşcani (02) [Fanfare Ciocărlia] Rusasca de la Buzdug (03) [Fanfare Ciocărlia] Sîrba de la Zece Prajini (04) [Fanfare Ciocărlia] Arâpeasca (05) [Fanfare Ciocărlia] Doina şi balaşeanca (06) [Fanfare Ciocărlia] Trio cu patru (07) [Fanfare Ciocărlia] Hora cu strîgaturii (08) [Fanfare Ciocărlia] Ciocărlia şi Suite (09) [Fanfare Ciocărlia] Rusasca lui filon (10) [Fanfare Ciocărlia] Manea (11) [Fanfare Ciocărlia] Nicoleta (12) [Fanfare Ciocărlia] Foxtrot (13) [Fanfare Ciocărlia] Geamparale (14) [Fanfare Ciocărlia] Bulgareasca (15) [Fanfare Ciocărlia] Sîrba lui Sîcal (16) [Fanfare Ciocărlia] Bâtuta la rînd (17) [Fanfare Ciocărlia] Sîrba de la monastirea (18) [Fanfare Ciocărlia] Dansul lui Şulo (19) [Fanfare Ciocărlia] Lume, lume (20) [Fanfare Ciocărlia] Ah Ya Bibi (21) [Fanfare Ciocărlia] Hora de la Bucureşti (22) [Fanfare Ciocărlia] Devlesa (23) [Fanfare Ciocărlia] Rumba tziganeasca Radio Paşcani is the first album released by Romanian twelve-piece Roma brass band Fanfare Ciocărlia.
