Founded in Budapest in 1999 by Antal Kovács and his father, who left us in 2005, Romano Drom has become in a few years the reference of the Hungarian Olah gipsy music. Their original sound is due to the creativity of Anti, who uses the genuine music of his people to open it to a larger public. The songs keep the energy of the gipsy music, but take a different color, influences of the surrounding world. Indeed 30 years ago the Olah gipsy music was still based on voices and rhythms and played in the community only.
Romano Drom plays as well in theatres as in festivals, interpreting a personal repertoire and compositions, avoiding clichés and touching the public by its sincerity.
