Moldavian and Romanian traditional music is known for swift, complex rhythms, musical improvisation, and rich, melodic ornamentation. Traditionally performed by Romani musicians, the Lautari musical style encompasses soul-wrenching ballads, high-energy wedding dances, and village-style tunes. Hailing straight from the source and having been steeped in this tradition from birth, Duo Moldova passionately embodies these traditions, transporting the audience back to the weddings and the summer nights on the porches where the duo grew up. Opening the evening is San Francisco-based group Mahala.

Sergiu Popa - accordion
