A Mănescu - Drag Mi Sâ Trâiesca Pe Lume Foia Verde De Tulpinâ

Review by Chandu Weerasinghe

A Mănescu's album "Drag Mi Sâ Trâiesca Pe Lume Foia Verde De Tulpinâ" is a remarkable piece of music that reflects the rich and diverse cultural traditions of Romania. The album features a range of traditional Romanian folk songs that are beautifully arranged and performed by A Mănescu and his band.

The album opens with the lively and upbeat "Hora De La Putna," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The songs that follow are equally engaging, with their catchy melodies and intricate rhythms. "Mândruță Cu Ochi Caprui" is a standout track, with its haunting vocals and intricate guitar work.

One of the most impressive aspects of the album is the way in which A Mănescu seamlessly blends traditional Romanian folk music with modern elements. The use of electronic beats and synthesizers on tracks such as "Lume, Lume" and "Măi, Măi" adds a contemporary edge to the music, without detracting from its traditional roots.
