Besh o droM
Besh o droM is a Balkan music group. Their music blends folk and contemporary instruments in styles ranging from punk rock to world music. They acknowledge particular influences from Transylvanian, Jewish, Turkish, Afghan, Egyptian, Lebanese, Armenian, Bulgarian, Romanian, Macedonian and Greek musical traditions.
The band was formed in Budapest in August 1999, recently based in Budapest, Bristol and Jerusalem. Their Romany name is in the Lovari dialect: Besh o droM means "sit on the road" literally or "ride the road", "ride" in the meaning "ride like on horseback", but its real meaning is "follow your path, get on with it". It is also wordplay in Hungarian meaning "I am rolling...".
They appeared in Miklós Jancsó's movie Last Supper at the Arabian Gray Horse. They also composed and performed the original soundtrack for the National Theatre of Szeged's 2001/2002 season of A Midsummer Night's Dream.
