An Evening at The Chardas

Béla Babai and His Fiery Gypsies
An Evening at The Chardas For centuries Gypsies have played a vital role in composing and performing the music of Hungary. In An Evening at The Chardas, Hungarian Gypsy music vibrates with the sounds of violin virtuoso Béla Babai and His Fiery Gypsies. Piano, accordion, cymbalum, guitar, and bass accompaniment are interwoven in technically impressive violin passages from Babai, the "King of the Gypsy Violin."
