Haiduci of Wallachia - Epic Romanian Music
Vložit
- čas přidán 19. 01. 2023
- Arrangement by Farya Faraji, based on folk melodic motifs from southern Romania. The painting is by Mișu Popp, a Romanian painter and muralist of the 19th century. The Haiduci (plural for haiduc; spelled differently in different languages), were a form of irregular infantry from the Balkans that would become freedom fighters against Ottoman occupation from the 16th to the century 19th centuries. They have now acquired a Robin Hood like quality in the folk traditions of Balkan countries, and many individual hajduks have attained the status of national heroes in their respective countries.
The music is not my own composition, only my slightly augmented rendition of traditional Wallachian dance music, characterised by this very expressive form of fiddle-instrument playing, the usage of the ubiquitous, pan-Balkan kaval flute, and up until the 20th century, the usage of percussions, still heard in historical reconstructions of Wallachian music like Anton Pann's, but now mostly gone from modern Romanian music, where the percussive aspect is provided by the țambal hammered dulcimer, which I also used here. - Hudba

God bless you Farya never Stop what ur doing! FELICITĂRI !!!
Anton Pann's work is amazing, and it is nice to see it appreciated ans much as it is good to hear another culture and musical tradition in your roster.
In Transylvania also existed a kind of "freedom fighters" but against the Austro-Hungarians.
One of the most emblematic moments (in my opinion) is when Avram Iancu gathered thousands of men (called "moți" from Țara Moților) in the mountains and organized them as Roman legions, one of them being called "Legiunea (or "Legio") Auraria Gemina". These legions were supposed to fight the Hungarian troops if needed.
Yet another great song and great timing!!
Great arrangment mr. Faraji. Please check out this album based on traditional Serb themes and music, I'm sure that you'll find something to your liking. czcams.com/video/KYtJ-9BMQh8/video.html
Farya, do you know about the 16th century military contact between the Holy Roman Empire and Safavid Persia (Iran) agreeing to fight against the Ottoman Empire who was allied with the Kingdom of France?

Romania is Carpathian not Balkans
@@klaus6740 it actually is considered balkan check out wikipedia if you dont believe
@@randomhumaniguess6753 In Wikipedia the most northern part of the balkans is Bulgaria. Romania doesn’t have balkan mountains. It has Carpathian Mountains
+The original name for this territory is HELM... Balkan= mountain on Turks..HELM = the hills, yes Romania is a part of this territory +
@@klaus6740 oops seems like you're right. I thought that Romania is balkan cause it often gets included in balkan countries
As a Romanian I am both surprised and happy that you made this video. Love your music.
Ah, thank you, this is quite like music of my childhood in sunny Bessarabia. My family name Voloshin is just the Ukrainian for "Wallachian".
@@InAeternumRomaMater its amazing how word Vlach has many "uses" in Croatias Dalmatia hinterland Croats are called Vlachs more like insult for rural area people. In Bosnia and Slavonia Vlach name was used for orthodox (Serbs), many parts in Croatia has names, places and people by vary history periods who were Vlachs since Slavic settling until present day
@@InAeternumRomaMater yes specially in Istria they were people called Ćići from Ćićarija mountain in Istria but are assimilated as Croats I know from some documentary on TV some remainings of Ćići people told that they ancestors arrived from Romania but are not Romanians probably because Romania as state wasnt formed then but they are arrived from that land. Google Istriot language its something like mix of Italian and Vlach people. So from romanian languages historical you have in Istria italian, istra-veneto, istriot and istrorumunji not sure how to say on english
@@InAeternumRomaMater thanks a lot for this information. The "falcon" ethymology was new to me. Latin "falx" is very similar to Gallic "uolcos", so possibly two words may have common Indo-European root.
Old German "rörik" and Slavic "sókol" are other names for the falcon. The Slavic name is just an onomapoetic one, because the voice of the falkon is called "sókot". Ethymology of the German name is unclear to me, but connection to the name of the legendary Rurick, "the invited ruler of Rus" is clear.
Whats up brother, I am also from Bessarabia
@@BalkanVlachOh great, greetings, I'm from Kiliya (Chilia Nova)! And you?
Ah, the caval. The Carpathian mountains really did keep something ancestral alive.
Feels like listening to neolithic Cucuteni-Trypilia EEF music.
Lepa narodna glasba...
As a Romanian i can feel the power of this song
Greetings from Romania! This song is a masterpiece. Lovely interpretation!
Such an interesting country indeed, I hope for more Romanian music soon.
I am honored as a romanian that you show a lot of attention to romanian old songs. Keep going.

Omg I just spent the night watching your videos about Ancient Greece and now I see you here on another marvellous channel! Greetings from Romania ❤
My wife is Romanian and I am very interested in Romanian culture and music. Thank you for this beautiful song.
Damn, if Dracula comes from the same place as this badass music, I have no problem letting him into my room 😃
well Haiducs are more like 17th to 19th century, they have other things going on.
Flintlock pistols, sabers, robbing the nobles and helping peasants, the legends and poems about them are more like Robin hood whith guns.
if you let them in they'll probably throw a wild party and hide in the forest when the cops knock.
Dracula comes from the same place. He ruled in Wallachia, though he was born in Transylvania.
@@brav0wingdoesn’t matter if he was from Transylvania, Wallachian, or Moldova, we are all ROMANiANS !!!🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴

Excellent!!!
Sounds very Greek too. I guess there’s a Balkan musical substructure that’s similar to all the Balkans.
Any more balkanized and this music would start a world war.
Η βλάχοι ήταν Ρωμιοί που πολεμούσαν για την Βυζάντινη αυτοκρατορια! Στην Ελλάδα υπάρχουν πολλοί βλάχοι που ενσωμάτωσαν στην χώρα μετά από την ελληνική επανάσταση. Είναι Έλληνες επίσης
Thank you, Farya ! It is a great pleasure that you honor our musical folk traditions with this piece. Hope there are many more to come. Greetings from Oltenia, one of the homelands of the haiduci !
So cool! Cheers to our Romanian brothers who are badasses!
As a Moldovan all I can say is te iubesc
stop my feet! they start to dance under the desk...uncontrollably

First time hearing this style of music, and it's awesome - heck, it almost made me want to get up and dance! Fantastic work dude, you got a subscriber!
Thank you so much for this! Have been listening to your music for a while! So happy to see you delve into our culture too!

When you are an Ottoman trader passing the Carpathian mountains to sell your goods to Transilvania and hear this music 💀
Wow....this is epic, reminds me of the Kleftes, the Partizan of Greece
love this🇷🇴
Congratulations from a hungarian hajdú.
Absolutely amazing song, I've been listening and enjoying your songs for quite a while now, especially the Roman ones, but i did not expect this! Ca Român, îți mulțumesc și te felicit.
bro this song is so good i love romanian history
Bias aside I implore you to continue making more traditional Romanian music with its forgotten percussion elements, it’s a very rare niche that hasn’t been rediscovered yet and you might make your mark in reviving it!
da bine love to my moldavian brothers dragoste pentru frații mei moldoveni

Romanian here. You did very, very well. I honestly love all of it. Fits very well with the era you were trying to replicate, I just can't comment anything. Good luck in the future, Farya Faraji!
Epic song for us, ty for this 🤝
AYO! I just saw this in my recommended and as a Romanian I am VIBING right now at 9:05 in the morning!

The song resembles oddly to Caucasia's famous Shalakho dance especially the refrain part
Well done, this song is so Romanian they stole the vocals.

Something that you can really dance to
Gotta love the Haiduci/Hajduci/Kleftes, they liberated the whole Balkans not by strength in numbers but by clever tactics and sheer resilience.
Glory to the Haiduci of all Balkan nations, and glory to the Romanian people! 🇷🇴♥️🇷🇸❤️🇬🇷♥️🇧🇬♥️🇲🇰
Wow, je vois parfaitement des gens faire des dances endiablées sur cette musique ! Elle est très entraînante !
Wonderful video as always! Here is a list of other interesting traditional Romanian songs
Baladă a lui Vodă Brâncoveanu
Eu sunt Barbu Lăutarul
Caval de-a lungu de pe Somes - Ion Farcas
Cimpoi - Ion Laceanu
Lelita Saftitan - Anton Pann
Chira Chiralina
Trei in lume nu se poate - Bogdan Simion
Dunăre apă vioară
Caval Joc De Inceput
Uite lunca-mbobocește
Cand Plecai De La Ramnic
Doina din Nasaud (Caval) Ion Farcas
Voinicul strain / Voinicel străin
Mioriţa - Tudor Gheorghe
Balada lui Radu Anghel
Caval de-a lungu de pe Somes - Ion Farcas
Cimpoi - Ion Laceanu
Toata lumea are dor
Of, Inima me - Etnos
Balada Conducatorului (not really traditional, but still)
Cântec de alungat strigoii / Funeral song ( This is a song meant to banish strigoii (kind of like zombie/vampire/ghost things) at funerals played by the romanians living in serbia
Sârbă ciobănească
Also, regarding the haiducii, there are songs about their deeds. The most famous 2 songs I can think of are
Cântecul lui Iancu Jianu (in this song Iancu goes to the market to buy lead for bullets but on his way back a mob, lead by a boyar, catches up to him, they were on different sides of a river and Iancu Jianu tells the boyar that he will shoot him in the chest, mock him and eventually turn him and his wife into pistol holsters and a bagpipe
Another one is
Balada lui Radu Anghel. ( he is actually the one in the painting in the video)
This one is about how Radu Anghel and his band rob a corrupt priest. They pay him a visit and Radu greets him and the priests greets him back saying "good afternoon captain" but radu tells him he is not a captain, captains spend their time in markets, he says he is "a man of the forest" and to give him his money, the priest swears on his old age and his church that he doesn't have any and then Radu punches him in the mouth and the priest suddenly remembers about a bucket of coins behind a door. Then the priest starts complaining about how Radu left him penniless and Radu tells him he never used a scythe, sickle or ever ploughed a field and that all his money was made by tricking old women and stealing money by charging fees for confessions

I love Romanian folk music. It has so many colors. Valachia, Moldova, Dobrodgea, Banat. Each region has musical treasures. Not to forget the music of the national minorities: Hungarians, Romi, Serbs, Germans, Ukraineans, Slovacs and many more.
Slovak did not exist , and serbs only stolen our folclore
Jews too.
