Tonight: Hungary's Parno Graszt live on WFMU!
Rocking Romani (Gypsy) band Parno Graszt helps shore up the roots in its tradition-loving hometown, the Romani village of Paszab in northeast Hungary. The nine-piece powerhouse is making its mark elsewhere in Europe too: It has showcased at the prestigious WOMEX World Music Expo; it's been featured on a BBC documentary, and its cds have made the European World Music charts.
Parno Graszt came to the US earlier this week as one of the featured artists at the esteemed Smithsonian Folklife Festival in Washington DC. (Hungary is a main focus of the Folklife Festival this year.) Parno Graszt follows Folklife with a short tour that brings the potent old-country old-school outfit to WFMU tonight and on to Drom, 85 Ave. A in the East Village on Sunday June 30th (with Eszter Bíró and her quintet opening).
Big thanks to our Illustrious Engineer Mark Koch and assistants James and Kieran!
