| Biography: | |
|
An energetic quintet performing Eastern European gypsy music, Tamburitza
Rroma takes the audience on a jubilant journey with their strings and Slavic
voices. Born out of the 2001 World Music Festival, Tamburitza Rroma made their
debut at HotHouse in May 2002 and have delighted audiences with their fresh
approach to traditional folk music ever since. Although Tamburitza Rroma, is based in Chicago, its musical roots and its fan base spread far beyond that city's boundaries. Its repertoire, which includes original as well as folk and modern compositions, is as rich and diverse as the culture of the Gypsy (or the preferred "Rom"), from which it takes its name. At every performance, therefore, Tamburitza Rroma takes its audience on a compelling worldwide journey that stretches from the Balkans to South America, punctuated from start to finish by everything from hushed and haunting ballads to powerful, pulsating Latin rhythms. |
