    Ion Petre Stoican

    “This story took place before 1965. One day Stoican noticed a man who seemed to him to be behaving suspiciously. This stranger turned out to be a foreign spy. Stoican grabbed him and took him to the nearest police station. The secret police then asked what he would like as a reward. ‘Should we give you a house?’ – ‘I don’t need a house,’ Stoican replied, ‘I want to make a record.’“

    Quote COSTEL VASILESCU, Bukarest 2005

    On the only long-playing record by the Romanian violinist Ion Petre Stoican the most important Gypsy musicians from the Bucharest Lautari scene were united in an All-star band and through a bizarre stroke of luck created one of the most atmospheric records of the time.

    Most of the pieces played came from Constanta and from Stoican’s birthplace Oltenita, and are primarily fast rhythmic dances such as Hora, Briu, Sirba or Geamparale, which no wedding could do without.
