Ando Drom

On the road

Hungarian Roma — Budapest, from 1984

Style: Vlax song & Central European families

Ando Drom. Romani: on the road. Named public group of inward song, from 1984. Jenő Zsigó. Inward song, beside the restaurant primás families.

Rombase (Kovalcsik): after Kalyi Jag, Ando Drom was among the groups that tried new genres of this inward song. The name is Romani for on the road.

Public notices: founded 1984, Budapest. Musical director Jenő Zsigó, voice and instruments. Mónika Juhász Miczura (Mitsou) sang with them for years — a named voice. Guest chairs (Bratsch, Kálmán Balogh) belong on their own pages.

A listener playlist of “traditional Hungarian Gypsy music” often files them next to Kalyi Jag. That is this inward song, not cigányzene.
