  • Bio

    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. Since its foundation, the Band have traveled the world from Canada to South Korea, from Norway via Portugal to Ukraine and Serbia. Romano Drom 's unique musical world got them resounding success and made them one of the most sought after world music band with a Gypsy heritage. Romano Drom, meaning "Gypsy's road", plays in original Olah Gypsy language with modern scoring. Although their original compositions are deeply routed in the ancient Olah Gypsy music, they can reach a wider audience by integrating the authentic gypsy melodies with influences from wold music and several modern trends. Their success lies in their unique fusion music in which Antal Kovács (founder and composer of Romano Drom) combines the centuries-old musical culture with Catalan rumba, Arabic, Balkan and even pop rhythms. In the musical arrangement, he is utilysing guitar and bass, as well as the traditional pot and spoon in order to achieve a unique and captivating sound. Profound emotions, energy and honesty. This is how the music of Romano Drom can be discribed. Their music proudly carries on the traditions of the predecessors, while tapping into a contemporary subconcious. Through this modern bridge they can successfully convei the ancient energy even to those, who have not been touched by this culture before. The Romano Drom counts five members but usually perform with a wider instrumantation with seven people on stage, completed with the fantastic voice of Matild Dobi and a saxophone player invited. Full instrumantation: 3 vocals, 2 guitars, cans, cajon, derbouka, drums, scat, bass, saxophone, dance. discography: 2007 Po Cheri - daquí – France 2003 romano trip – Romano Drom remixes- Gypsy House 2003 Ande Lindri – daquí- France 2001 Ando Foro- daquí – France 1999 Déta Dévla – X- production, Hungary
