Splendid DOINA!

Thank you from Doina's Land: Romania!

God Bless You!

[Klezfiddle1]

Thanks! I am increasingly fascinated by the influence Romanian music had on traditional Eastern European Jewish Klezmer music...the Doina, the Hora etc. I wonder, why it was Romania, more than almost any other Eastern European county, which influenced both the sound and forms of Klezmer so much? Does anyone out there know the answer???

What is an OAP?

Hello,

About the Romanian origin of the Israeli anthem: it's a Romanian folkloric song since time immemorial, performed in the villages of the country called Cucuruz.

Put the word Cucuruz at you tube.

The lyrics of the Israeli anthem and the Romanian melody were proposed as the anthem of a future state Israel in the 1800's by a Romanian-Jew from Iasi and later by a Raol Serban.

Hora, Doina, Joc/Jok and Honga are also Romanian styles of dance and music adopted by Jewish klezmer musicians.

[bienentendue]

I thought the Anthem was inspired by a Bedrich Smetana composition?

hahhaa it sounds brilliant on the banjo! there's an irish klezmer band called the North Strand Klezmer Band, their guitar player uses a guitar banjo now. you should check them out
