Taraf Of Clejani* - Roumanie: Musique Des Tsiganes De Valachie - Les Lăutari De Clejani (Ocora, 1988)

Taraf Of Clejani (*now known as Taraf de Haïdouks) are a spirited and well-known ensemble of Roma/Gypsy musicians hailing from the Romanian town of Clejani. This Ocora release precedes their 1991 commercial debut. You can also find an album of even earlier Clejani field recordings (1949-52) over at Dumneazu.

Check how spooky/experimental this track begins:
