The taraf ensemble centers on violin (sometimes multiple violins in heterophonic relationship), cimbalom hammered-dulcimer (the larger Hungarian-Romanian concert variant of the broader dulcimer family), accordion, double-bass, and voice. Repertoire spans the canonical doina free-rhythm lament solo-vocal-or-violin form, the hora circle-dance, the brâu chain-dance, and the broader Romanian regional-folk repertoire. The post-1989 international circulation through the Taraf de Haïdouks ensemble brought the lăutari tradition into the world-music circuit.", "recipe": "classic Southern European late-1980s romanian
