Music of Romania

Hey there kiddo! So, music in Romania is really cool! Just like how different states in the US have their own styles of music, Romania has its own music too!

One type of music is called "muzica populara" which means "folk music". It's music that people have been singing and dancing to for a long time. One instrument that is really important in Romanian folk music is the "cimbalom". It's like a big flat box with strings on it that you hit with little hammers.

Another type of music that is popular in Romania is called "manele" which means "gypsy music". It's music that uses a lot of instruments like the accordion and the violin. People love to dance to this type of music!

In addition to folk music and gypsy music, Romania also has some really famous singers that are known all around the world. One of them is Inna, who sings really fun and catchy pop songs.

So, that's a little bit about music in Romania! I hope you enjoyed learning about it!
