Fanfare Ciocarlia - 2018.Jul.27 Heimatsound Festival DE

Wanted to post this one last weekend, but I got ill. I'm still not fully recovered now, but could put myself to it to let you enjoy this speedy music just before Christmas: Fanfare Ciocarlia blowing it live!

PS1: noticed in the video that the fanfare is using a similar base drum with a cymbal on top as the recently posted Kamalamas band from Surinam [their "skratji-drong"], which consisted mainly of brass players also!

PS2: interested in your thoughts about Fanfare Ciocarlia performing live with Brass Band(s) from Africa, could they together make it rhythmically work?
