Taraf de Haïdouks are a troupe of Romani-Romanian lăutari from the town of Clejani, the most prominent such group in Romania in the post-Communist Era.
They are known in Romania as “Taraful Haiducilor”. The words “taraf” and “haiduc” have Turkish origin and mean “band or troupe of Romani lăutari (fiddlers)” and “outlaw” respectively. In Romanian these words are archaic and have an 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”.

The lăutari of Clejani were long known for their musical skills. The first recordings by ethnomusicologists in the village were made in the interwar period. Speranţa Radulescu also made recordings in Clejani in 1983 for the archive of “The Institute for Ethnography and Folklore”. The recordings were made in various configurations. During the Communist era, many lăutari from Clejani were also employed in the national ensembles that played “popular” music.

Early contacts in the West included Swiss ethnomusicologist Laurent Aubert and Belgian musicians Stéphane Karo and Michel Winter, two fans who were so taken by the band’s music that they turned into managers, brought the newly named “Taraf de Haïdouks” to Western Europe and helped launch their international career.

Since the release of its first album back in 1991, Taraf de Haïdouks has been considered the epitome of Romany music’s vitality.
