Taraf de Haidouks - Riff on Paganini 

The Tambal man's name is Cristinel Turturica . This is the only Video in the net that I know of where he plays solo. He can be seen a lot with Ionica Minune where he backs up but never,never comes to the foreground which is a pitty since he is one of the few world leading tambal artists. He plays with an incredible looseness, flexibility, security and improvisation that makes hin a true virtuose. On the whole this video exemplifyes the nature of a true jam-session.

This genius plays faster than I can hear! Simply mind-blowing! Wonderful! Wonderfuck!

I promise I shall never diss the cimbalon as a marginal folk instrument ever again - respect!!

Daca nu ma uit pe display, am senzatia ca e pian, desi tambalul nu este cu nimic mai prejos, sufletul conteaza, sa canti cu sufletul si atunci ajunge instantaneu la alte suflete. Pentru mine conteaza enorm si modestia lor. Ma uit si unde s-a facut inregistrarea, se pare ca nu intr-un studio performant. cu atat mai mult sunt coplesit de valoarea lor. Bravo!!! Nu aur, ci PLATINA le dau !

Ten minutes of pure joy.

Heya, the bass player deserves mention too. Dude grooves with the best of them in the whole world. OOO!! Ya Mon!

Fantastic,we should not forget that the cymbalo is a percussion Instrument and this Mann is really flying over ,this is physically almost impossible

So grateful that this fabulous jam session has been preserved!

Mais ils sont géniaux ces types ! Un tel talent, une telle mémoire ! Je suis époustouflée !

saw and heard this superbe performance. my day is allready great, and it hasn't started yet.

Talento...puro talento natural.. Imposible de copiar y menos igualar....!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fantastic! Neasemuit de frumos, cu o simplitate si o modestie remarcabile ! Pacat, mare pacat daca aceasta muzica nu va fi dusa mai departe !

This is quite simply one of the most extraordinary things I ever heard.

Trupa a fost printre cele mai bune din lume..magistral

I would sell my liver to see these guys live. So good.

Baiiii...ce talent e asta??? Uauu...câtă ureche muzicală

I love this group!

Paganini will turn in his grave......saying his mother was a gypsy...I am a Romanian loving gypsy culture...they are one of the best musicians from eastern Europe..Trust me.....

Bravo Roumanie vous êtes toujours sur la première place bravo

He makes it look easy . Marvelous travelers 🖐️

cea mai inventiva variatiune pe paganini caprice no.24

Great. Totally enjoyable. Amazing skill the musician has. Wow.

fabulous fabulous fabulous.

They're simply unique!!! thanks

I saw these guys at UCLA a few years ago and they're amazing. On the same bill was Bireli Lagrene, a fantastic French Roma guitarist.

Exceptional jam session!

sunt un roman din u.k dar ma mandresc ca romania a dat asemenea oameni.mBRAVOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I like it when the camera gets closer to Cailu... he rocks too, and is sometimes lost in the mix. This is some crazy wonderful music.

beautiful playing here wow . sounds like a Piano/guitar

This was one of the extras on the "Gypsy Caravan, When the Road Bends" DVD. Many thanks for bringing it to us. All I would ask is for better resolution.

..Cristinele tată ești bun. Da' bun rău, vreau să zic.. Și-i cam știu pe greii țambalului, mai vechi sau mai noi.. Bravooo !!!

Holy moly! scathing good!

no music school, just pure talent and hard work.

I wish I could draw my maps with you all by side !! Thank you !!! You never leave me anyway :)

I have heard that some of those gypsy musicians cant even read music. They learn and play all by memory. What a fantastic talent, this is inherited by generations of people who made their living by music, being underpaid and often desposed by their sourroundings. Great!

Cristian Turturica este cel mai mare timbalist din lume pot spune ,in acest moment !! Toata stima MAESTRE sa ne TRAIESTI!!! P. S. oricum nu o sa mori NICIODATA !!

extraordinar, niciodata nu am auzit asa ceva... taaaare

bravo! Nu urmasera nicio scoala de muzica, cantau dupa ureche.

The bass playing is amazing too! Don't for get that!

Asa sunt lautarii autentici,sunt artisti si greu de gasit.

¡Escalofríos cada vez que veo y escucho esto!

Doar muzica le curge prin vene!

Bravo! Foarte tare! This is the first time I have heard a clip played on RU-vid, and thought I should pay afterwards! Traiesti!

Cristinel....Fiul luí Margareta.. Sora luí ionica Bine rau.... ❤

is this kinda top jazz & top folk & top classical - all in one - or not?

That drummer knows his way around the kit

Maybe i don’t understand if it’s musical correct how they play but from this guys knowing that they don’t have a master degree in music it’s just amazing. One more time just amazing 👍

Молодці , браво .

Genious!!!

Doamne, cat de frumos suna totul!

Tambal cu un ton frumos.

Paganini would have loved it.

Unglaublich schön..

Lautari adevarati , super , improvizatie cu mare gust , idiscutabil original si din prima fara repetitie , dar totu-i pus la punct .

Pura gloria, gracias por subirlo. :)

SUNTETI CEI MAI TARI,FELICITARI !!!!

love it how Caliu thinks it's enough with that Paganini stuff and throws in some real music at the end ;-)

Am spus in alte clipuri ca, in opinia mea dupa Toni Cristinel e cel mai virtuos ,abil , inspirat , un timbalist cu o tehnica desavarsita ! Respectele mele sincere ! Ma inclin !

Wonderfull!

i'm proud to be romanian

Exceptional !

Les Feuilles Mortes de Jacques Prévert et Jozef Kosma, puis le caprice de Niccolo Paganini, puis leur musique

Bravo baieti!

Nu reusesc sa mi tin lacrimele ultima generazione de o musica care no so mai existe...ultimul drum...

Whoaww!

Adorable

perfect modest

De poveste!

WOW

Bravo Turturica

how many of these things happened without a camera around?

Gitanitos dices? Incapaces de leer una partitura? Estos músicos son tus maestros! Y quién ha dicho que no tiene seguidores?? no entiendo, que acaso no conocen los proyectos de estos músicos? Te los presento, búscalos al menos en wiki. Cuando ellos colaboran lo hacen con maestros de su altura, músicos de folklor y tradición de otras partes del mundo como la Kocani Orkestar, Goran Bregovic y muchos otros.... respeto al hablar!

Unicat timbalist. Nr1.

Este doar o încălzire, înainte de repetiţii. Tind să cred că este o pauză între repetiţii. Nu veniseră încă toţi şi nu este într-un studiou, ci într-o sală oarecare, de cinematograf. Ţambalistul, probabil că vrut să-şi verifice acordajul, şi până la urmă a ieşit ce vedem şi auzim cu toţii. Sunetul este luat direct prin microfonul camerei de filmat. Se simte când cameramanul schimbă direcţia de filmare. De exemplu când filmrază spre sală.

Du er musikk!

Meserieee;) like:D

UFFF........no está mal para unos gitanitos que son incapaces de leer una partitura. Esta gente tiene música en la masa de la sangre. !!Magistral¡¡ Me encantaría ver una colaboración con Paco de Lucía, Tomatito, Raimundo, Bireli Lagrene y Jimmy Rossenberg.

daca esti foart bengos in densul bun al cuvintului poti sa faci ca tambalul sa se auda " ca pianul

The bass player doesn't suck, either. :-P

MIROBOLANT !!!

Ce mai stiti de contrabasistul VIOREL VLAD? In ce taraf mai cinta? Multumesc.
