My Choice 692 - Lautarii Din Chisinau: Hora Basarabiei

The fiddlers of Chisinau/Kishinev". "Hora Basarabiei" means "The dance of Bessarabia".

This is a Romanian Folk Song showing Romanian dancers with their colorful costumes.

Romania is a European country whose population consists mainly (approx. 90%) of ethnic Romanians, as well as a variety of minorities such as German, Hungaria and Roms (Gypsy) populations. This has resulted in a multicultural environment which includes active ethnic music scenes. Romania also has thriving scenes in the fields of pop music and rock and roll. During the first decade of the 21st century some Europop groups, such as Morandi, Akcent and Yarabi, achieved success abroad. Traditional Romanian folk music remains popular, and some folk musicians have come to national (and even international) fame.

Folk music is the oldest form of Romanian musical creation, characterised by great vitality; it is the defining source of the cultured musical creation, both religious and lay. Conservation of Romanian folk music has been aided by a large and enduring audience, and by numerous performers who helped propagate and further develop the folk sound. One of them, Gheorge Zamfir, is famous throughout the world today, and helped popularize a traditional Romanian folk instrument, the panpipes.

Local folk music saw a period of glory between the 15th-17th centuries, when reputed schools of liturgical music developed within Romanian monasteries.

@banicaboss Most of the info I include I find from Wikipedia. If there is something incorrect, please let me know and I'll change it accordingly.

Thanks for your input.

please do not confuse moldavian, or basarabian people with Romania, it is true that they are a part of our history and strongly bonded to romanians in culture and language, but they are an independent country since the end of the second world war..it's true they were once a beautiful part of romania!!!
