Taraf Dulce Amar | Romani Music
Romani Music from Eastern Europe and Beyond
Wedding-Style Music from Moldova and Beyond
Romanian and Moldovan traditional music is known for swift, complex rhythms, musical improvisation, and rich melodic ornamentation. Traditionally performed by Romani musicians, the Lautari musical style encompasses soul-wrenching ballads, high-energy wedding dances, and village-style tunes. Hailing straight from the source and having been steeped in this tradition from birth, Sergiu Popa passionately embodies these traditions, transporting the audience back to the weddings and the summer nights on the porches where the duo grew up. He will be joined on cello by Nomy Braun and on percussion by Faisal Zedan.

ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Sergiu Popa (accordion and bandleader) was born in Moldova. From a young age, he studied traditional folk and Roma (Gypsy) styles with his father, Ion Popa, himself a well-recognized Gypsy accordionist in Moldova. Over many years of playing alongside his father at weddings, he also became familiar with Jewish, Turkish, Russian, Serbian and Bulgarian styles. After studying at the Conservatory of Moldova and moving to Montreal in 2002, Sergiu immersed himself into Middle Eastern, North-African, Jazz, Latin traditions, blending these styles together seamlessly. He has performed with many of the great names in Eastern European and Balkan music, such as Dan Armeanca, Carmen Piculeata, Fanfara Ciocarlia, Vadim Kolpakov, and Petar Ralchev.
