Bogdan Mihai Simion the Cobzar & the Silk Lăutari
December 9th at 19:30
The Cultural House of Trade Unions Râmnicu-Vâlcea
The traditional music gatherer and lăutar Simion Bogdan-Mihai the Cobzar, alongside the Silk Lăutari band!!!
Born in 1990 in Râmnicu-Vâlcea, Bogdan started studying the cobza at the age of 15. Since 2006, he has traveled through Romania, collecting lăutar songs and learning from the few remaining cobza players. He has collaborated with artists from diverse musical areas, such as Mihai Mărgineanu, Taraf de Haidouks, Les Elephants Bizarres, Chimie, Samurai, and others.
Since 2017, he has held numerous concerts of lăutar music with the Silk Lăutari band. He worked on the soundtracks of the documentaries "Flavours of Romania" and "Wild Carpathia" created by British journalist Charlie Ottley. On May 1, 2021, he released the album "Valahia în Demol," and on May 1, 2023, he released the album "Drum pavat cu bolovani," which holds a small sales record (1000 copies sold out in 9 hours). Both albums were produced by Adrian Despot. Bogdan's music follows three general directions: a thread of Romanian peasant music, urban lăutar music, and generic Romanian pop music (waltzes, tangos, and cabaret songs from the early 20th century until after World War II).
The cobzar's sound is enhanced by Nelu Răducanu (cimbalom), Mandi Pană (violin), Cornel Neacșu (accordion), Robert Adam-Szoltan (double bass), Cristi Adam (viola) and Vicenzo Deacu (piano).
