In true Hungarian Gypsy Band style, bursts of soaring musical tragedy and czardas madness are delivered by this group with a passion and technical virtuosity that is amazing.

An astonishingly accomplished multi-instrumentalist, the world class violinist Tcha Limberger comes from a famous family of Gypsy musicians and grew up with the Gypsy-jazz style of Django Reinhardt. Drawn to Hungarian gypsy music from an early age, he spent three years studying its roots in Budapest.

Now just 30, he tours with this small orchestra of hand-picked Budapest Gypsy musicians and there are no other ‘Primas’ playing in Budapest who command such respect.
