[ioncuoaia]

this doesn't sound like romanian music from that period

[szatmar666]

ok, i must have misunderstood then. Romanian music is the best btw but the reason is that in the south you get all the Bulgarian Serbian and Turkish influences, in Transylvania you have the Hungarian and German influences and in Moldova of course you have the ukranian/russian influence, and you have all the talented gypsy musicians all over the country. In other words it can never get boring it's always different and very colorful. Same is true about klezmer.

I never said Romanians are above any other mation, or that the Romanian culture is above any other culture. So I am not sure what pissing contest you are talking about.
