Hailing from Budapest, Hungary: Taraf de Akácfa plays in Topanga Canyon, California! We invite you to join us for a special evening of traditional folk music from Eastern Europe and the Balkans!

Taraf de Akácfa (RO, HU, SWE, FR, USA)

  • Lulu de la Rue (USA/ France) –– violin
  • Johannes Olsson (Sweden) –– accordion
  • Cory Beers (USA) –– cimbalom
  • Isaac Misri (USA) –– guitar
  • Ábel Dénes (Hungary) –– double bass

Taraf de Akácfa was created by traveling street musicians who met in a house on Akácfa street in Budapest, Hungary. Over the years, the members have traveled to the origins of the music they are passionate about. They have had the opportunity to learn from some of the finest Roma musicians, such as Taraf de Haidouks and Marcel Ramba. They mix their knowledge and different musical backgrounds to blend traditional styles with new ideas and arrangements. Their repertoire ranges from danceable Macedonian Cočeks; and complex odd-time Bulgarian melodies; to Romanian Gypsy Horas; and heart-wrenching Transylvanian songs

Also there will be a special surprise guest artist appearance! Photographer Kása Béla from Hungary will display his photographs from his collection: Transylvanian Musicians
