Travel Guide Clejani

37 kilometers southwest of Bucharest, 3 kilometers from the Vadu Lat train station, not far from the town of Videle, this village of 3,500 inhabitants is now known the world over as the home of the famous Taraf de Haïdouks gypsy music group. Don't come here to see monuments or even pretty houses - there aren't any. The modest village is still inhabited by the members of the band, when they're not on tour in Paris or Tokyo. Lovers of this music will come here to discover its soul and roots. And why not, for a fee, enjoy a private concert by one of the local bands.
