Dona Dumitru Siminică - Sounds From A Bygone Age · Vol.3 album flac

The recordings on Sounds from a Bygone Age, Vol. 3, from the early '60s, are timeless in their beauty. Siminica was a good violinist, but it was his singing that won him fame. Born in 1926 and dying in the early '80s, he was an icon in the cafes and bars of Bucharest. The musicians on these recordings, some of whom have never been released outside Romania on CD before, are superb, especially accordionist Faramita Lambru. He was one of the few who could cross the divide between Gypsy and Romanian songs, and did so with aplomb

Artist: Dona Dumitru Siminica. CD: Sounds From a Bygone Age, Vol. 3. Genre: World. Men have sung in falsetto for centuries - from 17th-century English church choristers to The Bee Gees, Prince and today's operatic superstar counter-tenor, David Daniels. Now there's a new release from one vastly overlooked practitioner of sky-high singing: the ultra-suave Dona Dumitru Siminica. Virtually unknown outside his native Romania, with a perfectly pencil-thin mustache and a voice that flutters in mid-air, Siminica packed cafes and clubs in Bucharest in the 1960s

Sounds From A Bygone Age Vo. Ion Petre Stoican featured an album from the mid-1970s of the now-deceased Romanian fiddler Stoican backed by some of Bucharest's lautari (professional musician caste, Gypsy musicians). Asphalt Tango would go on to issue "Sounds From A Bygone Age" albums by Romica Puceanu, Dona Dumitru Siminica, Toni Iordache and Gabi Luncă. Fanfare Ciocarlia had participated in the 2002 US Gypsy Caravan tour (chronicled in Jasmine Dellal's 2007 film When the Road Bends: Tales of a Gypsy Caravan)

If Dona Dumitru Siminica looked, on the front of his Sounds from a Bygone Age Vol. 3 CD case, like a cheapskate Mafiosi, not the leader of the gang, but one of the ones who runs alongside him tallying up the number of people he kills and muttering, "Nice work, boss" every now and then after a particularly good whack, then Toni Iordache. on the front of Vol. 4 with his pale face, high forehead, and black bow tie, looks like a mad scientist's butler, somewhat spooky and self-composed as if he's sizing you up to have your brain removed with a hacksaw  . We met Iordache on the first album in the Bygone Age series, the one devoted to the violinist Ion Petre Stoican. Iordache appeared there as an accompanist and arranger.
