Bogdan Mihai Simion Cobzarul & The Silk Lăutari
December 17th at 19:00
Casa de Cultură a Sindicatelor Pitești
The traditional music gatherer and lăutar Simion Bogdan-Mihai Cobzarul, along with the band The Silk Lăutari!!!
Born in 1990 in Râmnicu-Vâlcea, Bogdan started studying the cobza at the age of 15. Starting in 2006, he traveled around Romania, collecting lăutar songs and learning from the few remaining cobza players. He has collaborated with artists from various musical genres, 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 band The Silk Lăutari. He worked on the soundtracks for the documentaries "Flavours of Romania" and "Wild Carpathia" produced 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 main directions: a streak of Romanian peasant music, one of urban lăutar music, and one of generic Romanian pop music (waltzes, tangos, and cabaret songs from the early 20th century until after World War II).
The sound of the cobza player is enhanced by Nelu Răducanu (cimbalom), Mandi Pană (violin), Cornel Neacșu (accordion), Robert Adam-Szoltan (double bass), Cristi Adam (viola), and Vicenzo Deacu (piano).
