Moldavian Fiddle and Kobza: Csango Bal

Moldavian Fiddler Toader Bogdan (from the village of Sterjaru) and kobza player Antim Ioan(from Radoia) play Moldavian dance music at the Csango Bal in Budapest, February 17th, 2007. The Csangos are a Hungarian speaking Catholic minority in Moldavia, the eastern region of Romania. Their instrumental music tradition shares much in common with non-Csango Romanian neighbors, and in this case neither of the musicians playing are Csango themselves. Ioan Antim is one of the last living Moldavian traditional players of the kobza (hungarian: koboz) as well as the small cimbalom. The kobza has become extemely rare in Romanian music, and the Moldavian style of playing even more so, which is why the camera tends to focus on the elderly Antim's playing style. Pardon the shakey quality, it was taken with a small canon digital camera's video function.

This is NOT romanian music, my friend. I feel that you know this wery well.

Csango people are ethnic Hungarians. Don't forget this.

THis is Moldavian music, leave it at that. Neither the fiddler or cobza player are catholic or Hungarian speakers. The drummer is a Csango. As for the music, it is pretty well accepted that the insrumental dance music played by Csango, or as in this case, for Csangos, is in purely old time Moldavian style, which means it is identical with the music played for and by Romanian villagers in the region.

@gerzsenyizolika Si Moldova este a voastra ma ? Tu stii unde este Molvova ? Nu este in Asia micutule.

You're a fool, just a mouthpiece. Read the history of European friends. All Romanian territory is land law. No, I have not stolen from anyone. You steal instead of the Pannonian plain from the Dacians.

[gerzsenyizolika]

moldova was the eastern part of Hungary before world war II.

Moldova is part of Romania at present, becuse it stollen by romania.

But the future is changeable!!!
