Fanfare Ciocarlia

The band's unmistakable style and unparalleled talent for refining Balkan roots music with borrowings from jazz, pop and rock music and interpreting brass music with seemingly absurd precision and speed has helped them achieve cult status in the music scene from punk to classical music. Two and a half decades and ten studio albums later, the gypsy brass band Fanfare Ciocarlia was at the pinnacle of the brass music Olympus when a pandemic sent the world into shock. This event had the same impact on the musicians' lives as it did for millions of other artists: an abrupt standstill. And while the world was still in a haphazard standstill, fans around the world became active and made the long-planned studio recordings possible with their financial support and countless encouraging messages. The result can be heard here: "It Wasn't Hard To Love You" is a musical ode to all fans of Fanfare Ciocarlia and adds a new musical chapter to the band's history. May the 16 tracks on this album and the concerts in the post-Covid era put a smile on people's faces, bring joy and provide the soundtrack for dancing the night away!
