The BashElán orchestra started its journey in 2022 under the leadership of Zsombor Herédi and talented young musicians of the Hungarian folk music scene. The collaboration between the members of the orchestra dates back much earlier than its creation, so there is a strong spiritual and musical connection between them. Since their inception, they have become an integral part of the world music and folk music scene in the Carpathian Basin. They are active participants in dance houses, clubs and summer festivals. Their philosophy of life is to make music for pleasure, to have fun and the entertainment that comes from it in direct proportion, to invite you to dance to the rhythm. In their music they combine Hungarian folk music with Balkan rhythms and Transylvanian gypsy music, creating a unique musical atmosphere and spicing it up with some improvisation. In their collaborations they have worked with renowned artists such as the Barcelona Gipsy Klezmer Orchestra, Parno Graszt and the Dezső Fitos Ensemble.

Le rom means the gypsies. The orchestra reworks authentic gypsy music in line with today’s trends. Their style incorporates jazz, rock, blues, reggaeton and Balkan gypsy music. The members are all well-known musicians who have performed in various musical styles and formations. Our main goal is to show that authentic gypsy music can be in line with today’s trends and can be played on big stages in front of big name bands. For them, authentic folk has no limits, the musical freedom gives them the opportunity to take Roma folk to new heights.
