Romany gypsy music with some circus-like touches...”

 

Formed in 1999, Besh o droM’s music is inspired by Balkan, Hungarian and Romanian Gypsy tunes and Middle Eastern traditional music. They interpret this music in their unique style, mixing various musical genres and backgrounds. Most of the melodies they play are traditional but they take the liberty to use any melody they really like and enjoy. They have developed a very loyal following in Hungary and have started their career in the international world music circuit. Besh o droM in Gypsy language means "sit on the road" literally, but its real meaning is "follow your path, get on with it". It is also a play on words in Hungarian meaning "I am rolling…" - (a cigarette).
