Authentic Gypsy music from Eastern Europe
From record label: "Hungary’s astonishing Gypsy village band Parno Graszt's third album, This World Is Made For Me is arrived! Some of the new tracks will reveal a previously hidden character of their music: bitter, mourning 'hush' melodies sung on funerals as well as disenchanted, disillusioned love songs. Yet there's no doubt that most of the songs will get you for a rampant musical gallop on the back of a parno graszt (white horse) with a speed over 160 BPM !!! Shavale Romale, swing into the saddle and fasten your seatbelts!"
Paszab is a small village in eastern Hungary, and it is here against a background of high unemployment and racism that Parno Graszt play their extraordinary music. The music they play is an integral part of everyday life in their vibrant village community.
The gypsy band Parno Graszt were recently featured in a BBC 4 TV programme in the UK. The programme shows the vibrant village culture that still exists today in Paszab today, a community of gypsies in Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg. That this culture is still alive today is due, in no small way, to the fact that some 50 years earlier a village elder saw that external influences were eroding this way of live. Despite having no real education he set about ensuring that the subtleties of their gypsy way of life - music, dance etc, were preserved for the future.
Parno Graszt means "White Horse". White as the symbol of purity and Horse as the symbol of freedom.
