Description
Tatcho Drom perform vibrant and soulful music from Eastern Europe and the Balkans. Inspired by the charisma of Esma Redžepova, the virtuosity of Taraf de Haïdouks and the humour of Emir Kusturica, they lure listeners into a world of pain and joy.
Band leader Gundula, virtuoso violinist and singer, has travelled the Balkans extensively, discovering, researching and learning learning a huge repertoire of musical treasures. Described as ‘a shining star in the UK’s Balkan music scene’ by Songlines Magazine, she is considered as one the UK's leading exponents of Romany Gypsy music.
