		The Romanian peoples, although descended from early Balkan peoples, only emerge late in the politics of the Balkans with their history hidden and the subject of speculation, theories and national politics.

		In order to discover more about its traditional music, I visited Romania numerous times between 1993 and 1999, studying the language, meeting people and making friends, collecting books and records, traveling to many parts of the country, taking photographs and making my own recordings at festivals and folklore centers.
		The history of Romania's traditional music is closely linked to the caste of professional musicians who maintained and handed on the task of providing social and ritual music for all levels of rural and urban Romanian society.
		While Romania can be a difficult and disturbing place for the Western culture seeker, the vitality of their traditional music continues to assert itself, despite contemporary fads towards musical eclecticism.

	The Hungarian Minority's Situation in Ceausescu's Romania
		Additional evidence of effons to reduce the Hungarian share of higher education in Romania is discernible from the changing ethnic composition of the instructional staff in Romanian universities.
		Hungarian folklore collections have been confiscated from field workers and other atrocities perpetrated against individual researchers, e.g., in the Szekely region, in the vicinity of Cluj, and above all, in the Moldavian districts inhabited by the Csango Hungarians.
		These historical claims are not an accurate reflection of Romanian national self-definition but serve the manipulative objectives of Romanian despotism.

	Vampire magical legendary creatures
		The most enduring incarnation of the vampire dates from ancient Romania, where the folklore seems to have evolved during the change from a pagan religious culture to Christian rule, or as effect of contacts with Slavic people living around.
		Vampire folklore may have arisen as a response to conflicts in religion and culture; it is also widely theorized that missionaries and other new elements of the population brought new strains of disease, resulting in a greatly increased number of "mysterious" deaths during the period.
		A vampire is a mythical/folkloric creature that is said to subsist on human blood (animal blood can often suffice); usually the vampire is the corpse of a recently dead person, reanimated or made undead by one means or another.

	Alunelul de la Cerna
		Romanian folklore specialist, Theodor Vasilescu, favors the meaning as a contraction of "A lu Nelu" (where Nelu is the name "John" so the meaning is "John's dance") because, with the exception of Floricica ("little flower"), dances are rarely named for trees, plants, or flowers.
		Sunni Bloland learned this dance from Anca Giurchescu, dance ethnographer at the Institute of Ethnography and Folklore in Bucharest (Bucureşti), Romania, during her research trip in 1967-68.
		This dance, from the village of Cerna in Dobrogea, is but one of many dances bearing the name "alunelul" which are found all over Oltenia in Romania.
