The record label says:
When the enslavement of Romania's gypsies officially ended in 1864, tens of thousands fled the nation for new horizons. Several thousand landed in the United States, often settling in the black ghettoes of the Southern US states, where they continued to make music. Ioan, Fanfare Ciocarlia's oldest member and group historian, once answered when asked if jazz was a big influence on the group, Who´s to say our cousins who went to the US didn´t help invent jazz?' On Gili Garabdi (ancient secrets) this matter and other mysteries are explored by this most of Gypsy bands.
