		The Romanian dictator forbade anyone other than government sanctioned "gipsies" to play, and even in 2000, after two successful studio albums, the band found their plans to record a live concert in Bucharest almost thwarted, when the theatre heard they were Clejani gipsies and tried to cancel the show.
		The two accordionists, Marius and Manole, are masters of everything they hear, and the competitive spirit and the strong personalities of all is incarnate in their music as they drive each other on.
