Is Manele Kitsch or Good Music? For the people who don't know what Manele is pretty much it's a form of Romanian music that is a mix of our classical folk music with other balkan music, arabic music, and gypsy music. After communism Manele started to get very popular and would be played at weddings, restaurants etc almost everyone listened to it. Later on the upper class did not like it called it Kitsch associated it with gypsys because the performers were mostly gypsy. Nowadays people sill listen to manele but nearly as often as in the past. A lot of people also hide the fact that they listen to it. So today I have poll asking people about manele. Btw I think Manele is much better than a lot of the stuff that people like Nicole cherry, Antonia, Carla's Dream make. But a lot of the stuff that Alex Velea, Smiley, Simplu, Mario golden boy etc is better. But I still will be a current day minority and say some manele is good.
