about

Dervish sufi's whirl in a trance to reach higher planes. Less austere types lean towards hash and alcohol to attain a state of elevation. Significantly, Turkish sufi's will often gather in a place known as a "Tekke" which, strangely, is also what the Greek hash dens are called; those havens for stranded immigrants and outcasts in search of solace in music, the pipe and comradeship. Parne Gadje's sound is like a "Tekke", a meeting place for wandering souls looking to escape, if only for a moment, the everyday madness of the world. The groups music, with its origins in Afghanistan, Macedonia, Greece, Hungary and Anatolia, has its roots firmly in the ground but it is full of longing for higher places as well.

Parne Gadjes’ interpretations of both the old and newly emergent tunes of Greece, Yugoslavia, Macedonia, Bosnia, Romania, and the RRoma people are distinctive and beautiful.
