about
The gypsy families whose members make up the group Kek Lang (blue flame) were discovered when Tony Gatlif was making his film Latcho Drom. They all come from a little village near Nyabator in the eastern part of Hungary, where the songs still reek of mud, woodsmoke, bad vodka and loud swearwords. In typically Romany style this mixed group sings surprisingly complex folk music accompanied by accordion and guitar with jug or spoon used as percussion. It is essential to free oneself of all musical logic to enjoy these gypsy songs. The reward is there if one lets oneself go and be drawn into the music, with all its emotional turmoil, its chaotic undertones, both festive and naive, without any trace of bitterness. The music is a sort of challenge thrown out against the cold-heartedness of modern industrialized society and its technology.
