  The Daily Texan   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
A 'haidouk' is a kind of Romanian Robin Hood, and 'taraf' is a Turkish noun for a group of musicians.
Taraf de Haidouks has had enviable success in the European World Music Chart, and has been touring around the world for the best part of the last decade, playing anywhere from concert halls to busking in the street.
Owing to the whims of international politics, music such as that performed by Taraf de Haidouks was unheard by the rest of the world until the nineties, when they were snapped up by a Belgian record label.

 RESPECT - Year 1998 - Bands - TARAF DE HAIDOUKS
The pair of albums the "Haidouks" have recorded for the Belgian label Crammed Discs have brought Neac_u and his band international fame.
They chose the name Taraf de Haidouks (a haidouk is the legendary, Robin Hood-like hero of Romanian folklore, a wanderer who defeats the powerful lords by using his wits; and taraf is a Turkish word designating a group of musicians).
This is why Hanna Gorjaczkowska of Crammed Discs, the Haidouks' record label, has taken steps which she hopes will bring the Romanies of Clejani a certain amount of security.

Taraf de Haidouks, whose name translates as "band of brigands," are a village band of Gypsy lautari (traditional musicians), who come from a small Rumanian town called Clejani.
They live music for music, and are present in all the events of the social life of the town: baptisms, weddings, etc. These musicians, when choosing their name, wanted to pay a tribute to the Haidouks, legendary Robin-Hood style bandits, who were heroes in the medieval ballads, (Taraf simply means Orchestra).
Taraf de Haidouks also appeared in a major Hollywood motion picture with Johnny Depp, Christina Ricci, Harry Dean Stanton and John Turturro in the film "The man who cried "by English director Sally Potter.

 Passion Music mail-order CDs: Outlaws of Yore - Les "Haidouks" d'autrefois ( II ). Ethnophonie Romanian folk music CD ...
A year later, in March 1991, the Peasant Museum in Bucharest recorded a major part of their repertory and organized a show which occasioned a happy revelation of the Clejani phenomenon to the intellectual elite of the capital city.
The music on this record (partially edited in Romania on a cassette in 1992) is slightly different from the music that used to be played in the Haidouks ensemble concerts.
This is because naturally - perhaps inevitably - the producer of a record is bound to express his own personality in the selection criteria with which he operates.

Taraf De Haidouks by Taraf de Haidouks on Rhapsody
Sometimes listening to a Taraf De Haidouks album is like being involved in a massive cat-and-mouse game.
Even when a band member sings like his heart's breaking, the music behind him shudders like a race car before it springs to life -- the band's always chomping at the bit to turn each song into a giant, joyful instrumental romp.

 Gipsy Things, Gypsy Things
The Taraf de Haidouks' first two CDs went far to bring both current and traditional Romanian Gypsy music into the public spotlight.
Viorica has a powerful midrange and her two contributions to this CD are impressive--from the frisky title track to the primal "Mesteru Manole." Both are rendered with throaty intensity and precise phrasing.
The CD is well paced, threading through romping instrumentals (Rustem, Terno chelipe, Tot taraful) and more rhythmically complex ballads (Foti dea prun si foii de praz, cintece de jale).The booklet is full of beautiful photographs, and some poignant stories, but explanations and lyrics for each song would make for a less cryptic package.

Oompah went haywire in the music of Taraf de Haidouks, the Romanian Gypsy band that played a sold-out show at Zankel Hall on Friday night.
From the history of oppression and expulsion that the Gypsies, or Roma, have faced, they salvaged the music of all the places they traversed.
In its set Taraf de Haidouks played dance melodies rooted in Romania like sirbas and horas, dipped into odd-meter tunes that could have been Bulgarian or Macedonian and hinted at Greek and Turkish music.

If this Nonesuch compilation by the 12-piece gypsy group Taraf de Haidouks is a fair representation of Romanian music, then Western listeners have been missing out on something spectacular.
This is stirring, passionate folk music of almost incendiary power, steeped deeply in dance rhythms, complex, looping melodies, and the interaction of traditional gypsy instruments such as accordion, flute, violin, string bass, and cymbalum (a hammered dulcimer producing a kind of hurdy-gurdy sound).
