Jocul țapului / Male goat ritual

"Jocul țapului" performed by Silvestru Lungoci at long pipe ("fluier") and Nicolae Păsnicuțu at folk lute ("cobză"). Romanian traditional Christmas ritual dance melody from Moldova, Bucovina area version.

****
"Țapul" (male goat) is a guiser wearing an animal mask who cuts his ribald capers at midwinter (Christmas and New Year Events), escorted by a group of men and often decked with the ribbons of the village girls. The lower jaw of the dancer's mask is hinged, and with the aid of a string it can be clapped against the upper jaw, producing a percussive accompaniment to the dance.
