Balkan Sensation Fanfare Ciocarlia & Red-hot Red Baraat Set for Central Park SummerStage, July 14, 2pm-7pm

The Gypsy brass legends from the wild East are back in North America for their Worldwide Wedding tour! Along with Brooklyn's finest Red Baraat, the Romanian sensation FANFARE CIOCARLIA will play at Central Park SummerStage this Sunday from 2-7pm in an electrifying double bill bringing the funk from India to the Balkans and beyond. The show is all ages and free of charge.

Hailing from the remote Romanian village of Zece Prajini, FANFARE CIOCARLIA have been dubbed one of the world's greatest live bands, their energy and ingenuity having won them fans from Melbourne to Memphis, Tokyo to Toulouse. Having learnt their craft at the feet of their fathers and grandfathers Fanfare's members proudly keep the true spirit of Gypsy music alive. If you arrive early there will be a panel discussion from 1pm-2pm entitled "The Ascent of Gypsy Culture in America" moderated by Jakab Orsos, Director of Pen World Voices and featuring Costel Oprica Ivancea from Fanfare Ciocarlia and Henry Ernst from Asphalt Tango Production. We thank the Romanian Cultural Institute in NY for their help in realizing this event. See you in the park on Sunday!
