Din Brad (Negura Bunget’s Negru’s personal view on the Romanian traditional music) is proud to announce Dor as the name of its debut album. Dor is an unique Romanian word concept describing a fundamental characteristic of the local spirit.
Dor is your heart longing for something you had and lost, longing for something you wished yet never had, longing for a person, a place, a time… Dor reflects a Romanian mythical time, same as Plai reflects a Romanian mythical space. As a first step in the exploration of local traditional soundscape the Dor album is composed out of two distinct elements.
On one side there are authentic Romanian traditional songs, sung by local performers and recorded in their original environment. On the other side there are some personal visions and reinterpretations of Romanian traditional musics, performed and recorded on the studio, some featuring some prestigious guests.
Both are melt together by the same feeling powering them – dorul. While the first part is the result of years of investigations into what is still alive today from the Romanian musical and spiritual ancestral traditions the second part is a personal expression influenced by understanding and living of the lands that gave us birth.
Dor is scheduled to be released later this year on Auerbach Tonträger/Prophecy Productions. Consequently, an appropriate live performance will happen at the right moment.
