Romanian Music.

Not everything about Romania is bad. One of things that I enjoy about Romania is its musical heritage, it portrays a bit of the history of all of the Hungarians, Jews and Romani who have called this land home. For example, this great Klezmer piece, praising the land of Romania in Yiddish.




Or this great piece from the film "Latcho Drom." The film portrays musically, the migration of the Romani people from India to Europe and in the spot is featured the "Taraf de Haidouks" from Clejani, Romania.



Also, I discovered another song recently that I should mention. "Ridica-voi ochii" as sung by Paula Seling. Really a wonderful piece of music. I think when you listen to it, without even having any knowledge or Romanian, you will realize it is a religious piece. Great song, wonderful voice.
