Taraful Haiducilor (a.k.a. Taraf de Haïdouks) are a troupe of Romanian Roma musicians, from the town of Clejani, the most prominent such group in Romania in the post-Communist Era.
They are known in their native Romania as "Taraful Haiducilor". Roughly, this means "gang of thieves", but "taraf" is also the traditional name for a group of lăutari (traditional Romanian Gypsy musicians). "Haiduc" or "haiduk" is a word of Turkish origin which means "bandit"; in Romanian it has a rustic or archaic connotation. Most of those who know the band in the Western world know them by way of French-speaking areas, where they are known as "Taraf de Haïdouks", since French lacks a genitive case.
The group formed in 1989, shortly before the death of dictator Nicolae Ceauşescu. The original group encompassed about a dozen musicians; later configurations were to include as many as thirty. Early contacts in the West included Swiss ethnomusicologist Laurent Aubert and Belgian musician Stéphane Karo.

From what they tell me, German is the most used language (behind English) when it comes to the ineotnaritnal business world. I struggled with this too because logically my kids would use Spanish the most but since all their above mentioned foreign friends know how to speak German (in addition to English) they will be able to speak to them also and not just to us. We also hope to visit our friends in Germany in 2012 to add to the love for the language and people. It's such a hard choice, would love to know what you end up deciding. I think as long as the love for the language is in the kids any choice is the right choice. |
