The grande dame of the "cantece de mahala", Romica Puceanu, was born in
Bucharest in 1926 and at the tender age of 14 had already begun to sing in
local cafΘs in the Floreasca and Herestrau quarters on the outskirts of
Bucharest. "Romica Puceanu had an inexhaustible repertoire of these
songs", the accordion player and singer Victor Gore recalls in the summer
of 2005. The singer recorded her first album in 1964 with the Taraful
Fratii Gore - Aurel and Victor Gore's band in Electrecord's Tomis Studio.
And it was the Gore Brothers who discovered the the young lady with the
powerful voice in their own family and helped her on. They arranged gigs
for their cousin at weddings in the quarter where the Gore and Puceanu
families lived. There Romica Puceanu sang melodies with stirring words, in
which she described the everyday life, longings and sufferings of the
simple folk. Above all however she was a soulful performer of the songs
from the poor suburbs, which merged Turkish "cifte-telli" rhythms with
Romanian melodies and lyrics. In a short time she had risen to be the most
popular and best paid singer and became the incarnation of Romanian
Lautari music. The recordings with the Gore Brothers still represent the
traditional "raw" withdrawn sound of the old taraf. The arrangements are
clear and minimalist, creating space befitting Puceanu's sparkling voice.
Romica Puceanu meant to many Gypsies as much as the legendary chanson
singer Maria Tanase meant to the Romanians. And it wasn't only Bucharest
intellectuals who saw in Romica Puceanu the "Billy Holliday of the East".
