The Karavan Familia, a unique family band formed by parents and their children in 2004, has created its own world in recent years in the wake of Gipsy vocal traditions. With their repertoire, they proved that Gipsy music is intelligent and witty, wise and inclusive. 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. 

Their third album, made on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the Karavan Familia (Karavan Familia: Asvin / Fonó), was selected as one of the 20 best world music CDs by the World Music Charts Europe jury in May 2014.

"With assured assimilationand resigned simplicity, the band have createdsomething hazy and beautiful. It’s a contemporary, instantly recognisable and unique sound, influenced by a profound knowledge of tradition, but too personable and honestly individual to influence in turn." (John Pheby, fRoots Magazine, 2015).

Their latest, fifth albumis sincere and sophisticated, dating back primarily to the roots of their genre. (Karavan Familia: Varikanak / Author Edition).

They have toured Europe for the past 20years with their concerts. Karavan Familia is regular guest at the hungarianclubs, festivals and events. They have collaborated with performers such as Boban Markovic, Kálmán Balogh or Veronika Harcsa.
