Bogdan Mihai Simion Cobzarul & The Silk Musicians
December 18, 19:00
The House of Culture of Ploiești
The traditional music gatherer Simion Bogdan-Mihai Cobzarul, along with the ensemble The Silk Musicians!!!
Born in 1990 in Râmnicu Vâlcea, Bogdan began studying the cobza at the age of 15. From 2006, he traveled across Romania, collecting lăutărești songs and learning from the few cobza players still alive. 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 performed numerous lăutărească music concerts with the ensemble The Silk Musicians. He worked on the soundtracks for 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, one of urban lăutărească music, and one of generic Romanian pop music (waltzes, tangos, and cabaret songs from the early 20th century to post-World War II).
The sound of the cobza player is enhanced by Nelu Răducanu (cymbal), Mandi Pană (violin), Cornel Neacșu (accordion), Robert Adam-Szoltan (double bass), Cristi Adam (viola-bracho), and Vicenzo Deacu (piano).
