Romanian Music
| Folkloric Music In the conservation of folk music an important role has been played, besides the permanence of the audience, by the great performers. One of them, Gheorghe Zamfir, is famous throughout the world today, having made known a typically Romanian folk instrument, the panpipes. He is reported to have sold more than 100 million albums worldwide. Listen to more Romanian folklore music. |
| Manele Romanian manele is a mixture of Balkan music with oriental (Turkish/Middle Eastern) influences and also Roma music. The music style separates the Romanian population in two groups: those who like it and those who hate it. Its critics cite faulty grammar, overly simplistic or childish lyrics and subject matter and/or encouragement of demeaning behavior towards other people. Read more about manele.
