		The shock she felt was similar to what listeners from Central Europe might experience on encountering a Romany brass band from Macedonia, serving up incredibly funky Balkan rhythms instead of the stereotypical "oom-pah-pah" sound.
		Lautari - from the word lauta, or lute - was the name given to the elite caste of musicians who, in centuries past, served the Greek and Turkish courts in what is now Romania and Moldavia.
		As the aristocracy died out, the lautari retired to the countryside, where they formed extensive clans of musicians whose members still go around playing at weddings, funerals and other celebrations to this day.

		Often their stories intertwine: Siminicã lived in the same yard growing up as the infamous Gore brothers (accordionist Aurel and violinist Victor), with whom Siminicã later played with at weddings and who were cousins of Gypsy queen Romica Puceanu, the songstress featured in Volume 2.
		And though it was Siminicã’s trademark, the high-pitched falsetto singing style was also used to some effect by fellow lautari violinist Ion Petre Stoican, the spy-catcher-turned-recording-artist who assembled a virtual who’s who of lautari musicians for the only recording he ever made (Volume 1).
		Among the musicians Stoican assembled was the legendary trumpeter Costel Vasilescu, whose father took him to the weddings that eventually became the social milieu for the performance of his distinctive velvety trumpet-playing style.
