Mahala Rai Banda is a gypsy band based in Bucharest (Romania). It was formed by violinist and composer Aurel Ionita, who originally comes from a family of Lăutari from the village of Clejani. He is related to several members of Taraf de Haïdouks.〔http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/cdreviews/3626452/Pop-CDs-of-the-week-Kings-of-Leon-Manic-Street-Preachers-and-more.html〕 The band plays with an array of styles and genres. Romanian violins & accordions are combined with a brass section consisting of army brass band veterans and musicians from Romania's famous village Zece Prăjini – hometown of Fanfare Ciocărlia and a rocking rhythm section. They effortlessly combine a knack for inventive arrangements with an ability to turn every concert into a wild party. Their music is positioned right at the crossroads between traditional popular music and club-oriented, so called Balkan Beats. This rich blend of sophisticated arrangements, traditional elements and modern outlook puts them in a unique position among all the current bands. == The Debut Album == Mahala Rai Banda's self-titled debut album was recorded in 2004 in Bucharest, Romania. Additional production and mix were carried out by Shantel and Marcus Darius in Frankfurt, Germany. The mix was done in collaboration with Ionita Aurel (who is the band's leader) and Stéphane Karo. The album was released on Crammed Discs in early 2005.〔http://www.crammed.be/mahala/index.htm〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mahala Rai Banda」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
