Few have heard of "Nightlosers" jazz-blues fusion with folkloric influences from Romania. Many innovative cover
songs are sung in English, yet some remain in their native tongue, whatever that is... Their albums have sold
ten times more abroad than in their native homeland of Romania. Nightlosers is the pure genius of film director,
Hano Hoffer, who leads the band through narrow winding passages and choruses, like Orpheus in the underworld!
However, there are no vampires here, only happy drunken dancing gypsies.
