Welcome back!
Concert “The Best Of” Fanfara Transilvania
Sunday, 11th October, 9pm
1040 Vienna, Schwarzberg, Schwarzenbergplatz 10/1
Entry: 15€/12€
Miracles do happen! Last year we announced that the Austrian premiere of the Balkan Gypsy Brass group Fanfara Transilvania was to be the very last concert to take place in Vienna’s (now closed) Ost Club. The Romanian cult band’s music and the enthusiastic dancing of hundreds of attendees made the walls of the legendary club shake. As not everyone who wanted to be there last year got the chance, we invited Fanfara Transilvania to visit us again this year and perform their “Best-Of” program – and they accepted! Not only will the band play Balkan Gypsy Brass music at its finest, but they will also perform a number of songs from Emir Kusturica’s films, such as Bubamara, Messecina and Ederlezi. Where will they play? - At the new Schwarzberg, or in other words, at exactly the same location as the former Ost Club.
Fanfara Transilvania
Somewhere in the mountains of Transylvania, there is a village named Cugir. There, not far from a weapons factory, the Balkan brass band Fanfara Transilvania, also known as Galans Band or Fanfare Galan, was founded. The band members are all brothers, cousins, godfathers and godchildren, and all inherited a love for their homeland’s traditional music from their fathers. They preserve a rich cultural heritage, which they also mix very skillfully with modern elements. This legendary cult band represents a special type of Romanian folk music, with very powerful and stirring playing, and vocals from Moldova and Transylvania. Their name also stands for the finest Balkan Gypsy brass, with entertainment at the highest level being guaranteed. The members of Fanfara Transilvania have an incredibly wide repertoire, accumulated through playing at weddings, funerals and all kinds of events in their home country, when they are not touring the rest of Europe.
