Storm Large Channels Maria Tanase

I look at the artistic process as like experiencing the world, channeling it through your personality and sending it back out there. That's the process.

Earlier this year I wrote a post about Ciuleandra and the world-famous singer Maria Tanase. Her voice and her style were unique. There is one other person who was able to channel Maria Tanase and that is Storm Large. The song is Până când nu te iubeam. The song is based on lyrics by Anton Pann.  Anton Pann was a teacher, student of folklore and a poet in 19th century Romania.  It came from a collection titled The Hospital of Love.  

Storm Large's performance with the group Pink Martini was so amazing that many Romanians praised it on YouTube.  

    

 

There is also a dance to Până când nu te iubeam, Hora Anton Pann. Listen to the song; Maria Tanase was the singer. Unfortunately there is no video of her performing this but Storm Large's rendition is very close to the original.

By the way, this dance is also known as Hora Veche (not to be confused with another dance with the same name but different music and different choreography.) See post listed below for the dance Hora Veche that most folk dance groups do.
