"Două vorbe cu Fanfare Ciocărlia: "Înainte de concert, fiecare dintre noi e singur cuc. Când urcăm pe scenă, în public, e balamuc".
''Din fericire, de-a lungul întregii noastre cariere, nimeni nu ne-a cerut altceva decât să fim noi înșine și să facem ce știm noi mai bine. Acum mulți ani, când am cântat la Gala Premiilor Nobel, am făcut-o cu toată dăruirea și cu emoția unei responsabilități enorme.

Ce ți se întâmplă când vezi Fanfara Ciocârlia live, diferă desigur de experiențele pe care le proiectezi în rapiditatea ritmului și-n bucuria cu care îți este livrat.

The source of their melodies is not a region or a Roma ethnic group, but the cultural and musical heritage of the Gypsies in Europe. In addition to the various, typical European Gipsy music styles, the atmosphere of Latin music, blues or pop music can be felt in their songs - all of which gave birth to world-music that has never been heard before. In addition to diversity, however, the Karavan Familia is able to retain its own style, which is both youthful and respectful of tradition, fun and lovable. More
