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?

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 ❤
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.

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 !!!🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴

Awesome to see Romanian culture and history be represented,.much love from 🇲🇽
I can imagine if one of my ancestors was a haiduc riding out with his horse out on the countryside! Like many other videos of yours, Farya, you inspire many people about history and myth and legend and I can't thank you enough! Mulțumesc!
I listen a lot to the music created by you and I didn't expect to see a wallachian music :)) This music made my day beautiful :))....
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
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!
Love your music! Thank you!
I didn't know this one and the tempo is really nice. I'm not much of a fan of Romanian folk but you make it sound really nice. Thanks for all your work Farya! 😁
Ca mulți români fițosi şi idioți, nu e fun după muzica populară...
Sir you really are a genius.
This is amazing.
stop my feet! they start to dance under the desk...uncontrollably
Stupendo! Ipnotico...Trascinante fino alle vertigini. Una voglia irresistibile di ballare all'infinito, senza tregua. ...
You hit the zeitgeist spirit of our time, Farya. I wonder if it's "theopnefsto" (divinely inspired) or you know something...thus heightening the alert for the rest of us. Above all, beautiful video, as always.
This is awesome! Could I use this and some of your other music in a Dungeons and Dragons podcast? I'd be sure to credit you.

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.

I'm wondering what time period this is based on. Or is it like more... is "broad" the right term? I'm trying to put together a picture in my head from the description so to speak. I'd also love to learn more about Romanian music history. I just stumbled upon your channel and I adore history and I love music so naturally I adore music history. I just like learning about the everyday lives of people
200 years ago-ish to a 100 years ago is pretty much the time span where this arrangement fits :)
Excellent ! I like it a lot ! Sounds to my greek ears so familiar
Imagine my surprise after months of perusing your channel to see some, not just Romanian representation, but specifically Wallachian.

Epic!
Oh I can really vibe to this, awesome job! Given that this comes from folk music, I wonder if any Romanians in the comments can say if there could be a folk dance you can do to this?
I feel like this has so much of the same ‘flavour’ as folk music from certain areas of Greece; whether that comes from the fact that, in general, many traditional music styles in the Balkans are shared across borders, or if it comes specifically from the Aromanian connection, I’m not educated enough to know. All I know is that I feel right at home with this song 😊
Hello. Just a personal taste, i think that a 'hora romaneasca', a romanian group dance will fit to this music.
Well, the vlach community is bigger than some people imagine and especially in Greece, too bad westerners or even some southern vlachs try to make it seem that vlachs and Romanians are two different things but in reality, we are all the same thing, it’s just those south of the Danube live in mainly Slavic speaking countries and speak a slightly different tone from us and those north of the Danube created a country called Romania, but we are all the same. There is also the dance called “hora” to go with these songs.
@@BalkanVlach Vlachs and Romanians are different. They have common linguistic roots, but not cultural or genetic.
@@gnas1897 no they are not lmao, Romania is literally the country of vlachs, the only reason why people differentiate them is because of language which is already pretty similar, vlachs are more known in the west as romance speakers below the Danube and Romanians are vlachs north of the Danube ( which is the home of the vlachs) the only reason you might see some southern vlachs deny being Romanian is because their national pride surpasses their ethnical pride but we are still the same people. If you literally looked at the culture and genetics it is very similar, nothing is the same obviously, every region in Romania themselves have their own minor cultural differences but we are still the same crowd.
Thank you so much for this. If you have time, could you please consider looking into Seleucid music?
😀I don't normally listen to dance music. I feel your dance music as a background music from a film about Balkan. Imagine a group of Ottoman soldiers coming into the forest and suddenly the music start and a large group of hajduks or haiduc start to ambush them.
You should make a skenderbeg or Gjergj Kastrioti themed Albanian track next, a good track to look at is "Albulena", it is a old 15th century Albanian song that talks about the war against the ottomans and the defense of Europe from Turkish Invasions, this would be a good one to include. Much love! (:
I'm really surprised and happy to listen to the first epic Romanian song, and about Haiducs, the perfect theme! And it does sound southern, like it could actually sound in 18th century Wallachia. Now I need a saber and I can go to steal from the boyars, or just grab some politician's credit card.
But seriously, it's so cool to see someone noticing my little country, and making cool media about it's folklore. No-one does that, so I hope you make more in the future, maybe whith the kaval.
Do you know about the Dorian #4 scale? weird name, but it's the scale they use in Romanian caval music. I have one myself. Search "haiduceasca" on youtube, it's a haiduc related caval song and uses a very typical rhythm
Greathings from Romania!
The song resembles oddly to Caucasia's famous Shalakho dance especially the refrain part
