Old Romanian songs: Drumurile noastre toate by Dan Spataru

We're on a constant lookout for new music to share with our readers, but sometimes they all seem to sound alike, so we wanted to bring a different sound, something from the past. So we started digging for good, old Romanian music. The first choice is something you might hear in clubs sometimes – for example, in Club A they sometimes play it. It's called Drumurile noastre toate – roughly translated as “All our paths”. The sound is really memorable, and the singer's voice really stands out. The singer, Dan Spataru, was very famous in Romania, in the 70s-80s, and some of his hits are still known today, even among the younger generation. The one we feature in this article is probably among the favorites for the young generation too, perhaps due to its sustained rhythm. We searched for a remix of the song but none was to our taste, so here's the original song, from 1977. The singer died in 2004 but his music lives on. editor@romania-insider.com
