Old dance songs – Țara Oașului Collection

VLACH ID-number: tran1277ROV0106a

Vasile Zele plays typical dance songs from Țara Oașului. As a child, he learned to play fiddle while accompanying his uncle, the renowned fiddle player and rhythmic shouts singer Petre Zele. After emigrating to Germany in the year 1997, Vasile Zele didn’t play the fiddle for over 25 years. However, after his uncle passed, he decided to honour him by playing the old tunes in an authentic and conservative manner, just as he had done 30 years prior. In this video, Vasile’s cousin, Petrică Zele, accompanies him on the second violin.
