Maria Tanase

I never knew much about Maria Tanase, but her songs seemed to be with me from as long as I remember. I heard and sang them at home, then I sang them with my friends at parties and now I sing them as lullaby songs to my daughter. Below there is a collage of some rare moments when she was caught on camera:



Happy 100th birthday, Maria Tanase, wherever you are!

P.S. If you want more details about her life there is a nice blog entry here (in Romanian).
