he name Rományi Rota means Cartwheels (Cigánykerék). The band was established in 1985 in Nagyecsed (Szatmár county) by young, talented Oláh Gipsy musicions. In the early years - from 1987 to 1988 - Rományi Rota worked as a traditional county dance group, but in 1989 some members of the group moved to Budapest in order to continue their activity in the capital.
This was a decisive period for the development of the band and contributed significantly to their present style. They say their music represents the city Gipsy folk music.
The Rományi Rota's repertoire is based on the Oláh Gipsy songs from Nagyecsed (from Cerhár) and the northerneast Hungarian Gipsy songs complemented by the Transylvanian Gipsy community's folk music. After all their songs are colorful and varied with strong and powerful rhythm. However the Rományi Rota insist on the elemental feature of the vocal music.
They have already worked abroad, in 1998 contributed to a record of the world-famous Transglobal Underground from London, which clearly reflects their musical standards and values.
