That music reminds me of Vlach(aboriginal people) music from eastern Serbia. Don't get me wrong, Vlach is not a deragetory term though, it's an old Serb word that meant "Romans" back in the day. Vlachs in eastern Serbia are suppose to be a mix of Roman/Celtic folk. Ciobaneasca=Shepherd?

Don't worry, I know (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vlachs)!:)

Ciobaneasca=Shepherd?

"Ciobăneasca" means "shepherd's". Don't you also have the word čoban (http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%C4%8Doban)?;)

Doina este o o specie a liricii populare, specifică poporului român, în care sunt exprimate direct cele mai variate sentimente: dor, tristeţe, iubire, ură impotriva asupritorilor, înstrăinare, regret, etc.

Cuvintele „dor” şi „jale” nu se întâlnesc atât de des în folclorul altor culturi/popoare, însă există un corespondent în fiecare limbă, de exemplu englezescul "longing", pentru „dor”, sau nemţescul "Sehnsucht", iar cuvântul „jale”, în engleză fiind "dreariness" sau "grief".

Doina (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doina) is species of folk lyric, specific to the Romanian people, in which the most varied sentiments like longing, sadness, love, hate towards the oppressors, alienation, regret and so on are expressed directly.

A Sârba or Sîrba (meaning "Serbian [dance]" in Romanian) is a Romanian dance normally played in 2/2 or 2/4 time. It can be danced in a circle, line, or couple formations and was historically popular not only among Romanians, but also Ukrainians, Hungarians, East European Jews, and the Poles of the Tatra Mountains. It is fast-paced and triplets are usually emphasized in the melody.

The sîrba is still popular in Romanian traditional music and in Klezmer music.

Brâul is a term used for types of men's chain dances, although there are now mixed and women's versions. The term is applies to several different regional families of dances that have little choreographic similarity.

The word Brâu (pl. Brâuri) comes from the Daco-Illyrian language group meaning belt. Formations where the dancers hold their neighbour's belts are common throughout Bulgaria (known as na pojas) and east Serbia. Belt hold causes the dancers to be connected more rigidly than hand holds, thus the dance formations are restricted to short lines and semicircles. The belt hold rarely exists in Romania except in the name of the dance and has been replaced by shoulder hold, front or back cross-hand hold, or simple low hand hold.

This category includes all dances with a musical rhythm based on "short-long", usually written in 5/16 (2+3). The timing is not perfectly in 5/16, sometimes it will drift nearer to 3/8, and in some areas it looses the asymmetry getting close to 2/4, this being common in the sub-Carpathian regions.

Most of these dances are performed in a circle with low hand hold and arms which swing forward and back with the steps. The steps include many crossing steps and galloping steps.

There are many features of Romanian folklore that are common to both the Romanian and Bulgarian sides of the Danube. The uneven rhythm dances are part of this shared tradition.

This 5/16 asymmetric rhythm is found in some of the Căluş and Drăgaica customs, the slow Hora in south Romania and north Moldavia, and some of the women's songs in the north of Romania. This suggests that this form of asymmetric rhythm could be a old musical rhythm of the Danubian regions and people.

This dance is performed in couples standing side by side with their partner, arranged in an arc, with a lead couple. The dancers move round the dance space with walking steps in an anticlockwise direction to slow stately music.

The Transylvanian Purtata is most probably linked to the European processional walking dance. Variants across eastern Europe and Scandinavia include Polish Chodzony, Moravian Starodavny, the försteg of the Swedish Polska, Swedish Ganglåt, and Norwegian Gangar. It seems probable that the Polish Empire and the nobility was key to the distribution, and maybe the dances originated in the northern Slavic states.

This form of dance reached as far as the principality of Transylvania but not to the Ottoman ruled areas of Wallachia, Moldavia and Hungary. The Romanian versions are thought to have come via the Transylvanian nobility (mainly Hungarian) and this seems likely as the distribution is predominantly the northern areas of Hungarian feudal rule.

These now exist in Transylvania as the Purtata family of Romanian dances and the Hungarian Lassú (the slow) in the village of Szek plus the Kettos of the Gymes Csangos. The music is mostly in 10/16 (long-long-longer-longer). This rhythm is very typically Romanian and can be found in many dances north of the Carpathians from Banat to central Transylvania.

Purtata is derived from a word meaning demeanour, manner of dressing etc. which could be related to the peasants' version of the court dances from which the couple Purtata are thought to have derived.

The 'turning' dance is thought to have developed later than the 'walking' dance and is found from Sweden (Pols and Polska), through Poland (Oberek) down to Maramureş and Transylvania. The Romanian dance is the called the Învârtita or Bătuta with the Hungarian version called Forgatós.

The basic form is at moderate tempo with turning as a couple, in alternate directions separated by a resting step, without progressing around the dance space. This oldest form of the dance still continues in some places (Romanian regions along the northern edge of Transylvania and Hungarian town of Szek).

Unlike the Purtata family of dances, the Învârtita is found with Romanians beyond Transylvania and is not restricted to Hungarian feudal areas, and has a universal name covering many regional versions, possibly supporting Romanian dance views these dances have not spread via the Hungarian nobility.

The Învârtita should not be confused with the Csárdás which represents the "new" style of Hungarian dancing which appeared around the mid 18th century.

The Geampara has three beats, short-short-long, written as 7/16. The name comes from Turkish for a type of percussion instrument, probably similar to castanets. The dance is found mostly in Dobrogea, formally a Turkish ruled region, and across the Danubian plain of south east Romania.

Geampara has much in common with the Bulgarian Râčenica found in north Bulgaria and Thrace, although the music is played with a different accent.

This dance has developed circle, couple, and modern couple variants. This type of development has also happened recently to other circle dances such as Hora where it is now common to see a few couples dancing in the middle of the circle. The couple dance consists of the man and woman dancing facing each other without contact and using improvised step combinations.

Note that in Romania the 7/8 rhythm is used for other dances associated with rituals and customs as well as for a social couple dance with called figures known by various names such as Spic de Grâu, hop şi alta or Kecsketánc (Csango). It is probable the 7/8 dance rhythm was in Moldavia prior to the introduction of the Geampara dance. There are also some other Dobrogean dances in 7/8 are Pandelaşul, Drăgăicuţa, Săltata.

Miorița (http://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miori%C8%9Ba) este un poem folcloric românesc, răspândit în peste 1500 de variante în toate regiunile României. Este o creație populară specific românească, nefiind cunoscută la alte popoare. Cântecul a fost zămislit în Transilvania, având la bază un rit de inițiere și interpretat sub forma de colindă, în timpul sărbătorilor de iarnă. S-a transformat în baladă (în regiunile din sudul și estul țării), în această versiune fiind socotit un text literar desăvârșit din punct de vedere compozițional și stilistic. A fost analizat și comentat de cei mai de seamă oameni de cultură români. Motivul mioritic a constituit sursă de inspirație pentru scriitori, compozitori și artiști plastici români și străini. A fost tradus în peste 20 de limbi străine. Este socotit unul din cele patru mituri fundamentale ale literaturii românești, iar în prezent este un brand cultural național.

Mioriţa (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miori%C8%9Ba) ("The Little Ewe") is an old Romanian pastoral ballad and considered one of the most important pieces of Romanian folklore. It has several, quite different in content versions, one of which was selected by Vasile Alecsandri to the form the textbook reference.

Colindele (http://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colind) sunt niște cântece tradiționale românești, anume felicitări (urări) de tip epico-liric, având în general între 20 și 60 de versuri. Colindele sunt legate de obiceiul colindatului, datină perpetuată din perioada precreștină. Colindele nu trebuie confundate cu cântecele de stea, specifice sărbătorilor creștine de iarnă, și nici colindatul cu umblatul cu steaua. Colindele se cântă în preajma Crăciunului. Unele dintre ele au o sumedenie de variante și versiuni, potrivit diferitelor regiuni și graiuri.

Colindă (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colind%C4%83) (pl. colinde; also colind, pl. colinduri) are traditional Romanian Christmas carols.
