Mahala Rai Banda in session

Eclectic music from blues to beats, featuring a session from Mahala Rai Banda.

Mahala Rai Banda have been described as "wild gypsy brass from the romanian suburbs". Their members originate from small Romanian villages and retired soldiers from Moldavia. The band play Romanian violins & accordions with a brass section and a riotous rhythm section.

Tracks by Mahala Rai Banda have been covered and sampled by Nouvelle Vague, Balkan Beat Box, Dj ClicK, Forty Thieves Orkestar and Russ Jones. Their song "Mahalageasca" makes an appearance in the Borat film and also features on the Buddha Bar Ten Years compilation.
