Taraf de Caliu inherits the energy and mastery of the famous Taraf des Haïdouks, the group of musicians from Clejani who, for over 20 years, have brought the folk music of southern Romania and the lăutărească sound of the Balkans to audiences around the world.

Led by the phenomenal violinist and performer Anghel “Caliu” Gheorghe, this band of musicians from the Giurgiu area is not afraid to mix traditional rhythms with the most contemporary ones, dividing their concerts between lively and ingenious dance segments, moving ballads, and surprising improvisations.
