“The Fastest Fanfare in the East”

In the Old Country of trumpets and tubas, the kingdom of brass and brass bands, who has never dreamed of playing black cat white cat for a warm night, and embracing in dashing choreographies to the captivating sound of Eastern trumpets?

Always ready to stir emotions and bring out the bon vivant in everyone, the PALP and the Wines of Valais invite the legendary Fanfare Ciocărlia, hailing from a village nestled in a misty valley of Romania.

According to legend, the village of our heroes, hidden from the outside world, spared from the effects of communism, and allowing its eighty Romani farming families to continue living a traditional rural way of life, has allowed these brass musical traditions developed under Ottoman rule to continue to exist when they had long disappeared elsewhere in the country, distinguishing them from all other brass groups on the planet…!

Fanfare Ciocărlia is about frantic speed, wild technique, ripping rhythms, and bittersweet brass, in short, the fastest Fanfare in the world.

Tou tou tou toummmmmm tou tout tout toummm….
