A shooting like no other! On the occasion of the new album by Taraf de Haïdouks and his 25th anniversary, we suggested the group interpret a title from their last opus in a Brussels ‘estaminet’ ” La Fleur en Papier Doré ».

Indeed… the charm of the place resides in its narrowness…
Naturally, they settled against the window where they tuned their instruments and ordered a drink…
While it was only the waiters and us in the audience, they gave us a generous and moving performance of « Balalau din Bucuresti » with a song by Viorica Rudareasa who had already participated in their album Dumbala Dumba in 1998.

Their latest album « Of Lovers, Gamblers & Parachute Skirts » is a pure delight, hurry up to buy it and do not fail to look out for their next visit in the neighborhood!
