	RESPECT - Year 1998 - Bands - TARAF DE HAIDOUKS
		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).
		Taraf de Haidouks' first tour led to the signing of a contract with Crammed Discs, who released their first album, entitled Musique des Tziganes de Roumanie, in 1991.
		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.

		These were indeed the bands first ever concerts in the Romanian capital: after ten years of international success the Taraf were still not recognized in their own country (maybe because they were perceived as Gypsies rather than as musicians).
		TARAF DE HAIDOUKS LIVE AT UNION CHAPEL (directed by Marc Allen, 58 min.) British director Marc Allen filmed the Taraf s concert in Londons unique Union Chapel.
		The Taraf's « managers » Karo & Winter (two Belgian music fans who originally travelled to Romania back in 1990 to find these amazing musicians they had heard on an obscure record, and who have really become part of the Taraf family) have regularly been filming the band ever since the early 90s.

		Giving that operatic sensibility its historical and ethnic context, Golijov's delicate pieces, performed by the Kronos Quartet, serve to balance the swirling Gypsy verve of the Taraf de Haïdouks ensemble.
		The resulting score gleefully turns the various clichés of "world music" on their heads, revealing new connections between Euro-folk and the classics as the disc showcases traditionalists and newcomers alike, introducing a bright new operatic star in the bargain.
		It is a flawless, spellbinding compilation of classical opera (Bizet, Verdi, Puccini, Purcell), Roma (Gypsy) music (Taraf de Haidouks), and original score ("Cesar's Song," "Close Your Eyes," "Without a Word." The Kronos Quartet performs the original score).
