RE: Romanian\Romani (Gypsy) violin technique examples?

[Lipkowitz, Stuart <lipkowitz...>]

The film version of Latcho Drom has a good segment with that fiddler from Taraf 
de Haidouks performing that technique.

Hello

At klezkanada Michel Alpert and Stuart Brotman showed me a violin technique
that I have wanted to learn for a very long time that is most known for
being seen in the movie Latcho Drom and also utulized by the band Taraf De
Haidouks 


In short you tie a piece of horse-hair to your low string and let it slip
through your fingers instead of bowing

Does anyone know of any CDs that I can get that has more good examples
besides CDs by Taraf De Haidouks \ The Latcho Drom Soundtrack.


Thanks

Jeremy
