Dona Dumitru Siminica ~ Sounds from a Bygone Age vol.3 ~ CD

The third in this series celebrating musical figures of Old Bucharest features a singer with "a disturbing, androgynous falsetto voice and a large number of female fans who hung on to every word uttered by the man with the immaculate hair and carefully clipped mustache." Accompanied by absolutely top tier Romanian musicians, Siminica's singing is hauntingly communicative, and many of these recordings are being released for the first time outside of Romania, where he died in the mid 80's.
