Gabi Lunca Gabi Lunca
Sounds from a Bygone Age Vol.5 (Asphalt Tango)

Unlike her contemporaries who died prematurely (Romica Puceanu, Toni Iordache and Dona Dumitru Siminica), Gabi Lunca is a living legend from the golden age of Romanian Gypsy music. Lunca's career began in the mid-1950s. The last surviving diva of the Lautari scene, she turned 70 in 2008. With this latest volume in the Sounds From A Bygone Age series, you have the chance to rediscover her classic 1960 and '70s recordings from the Electrecord archives in Bucharest. Her unforgettable songs are the quiet, melancholy laments for a sweetheart, but also the joyful songs to lift the weight off your chest.

Please note!
 Most CDs have been imported from Europe or Asia. They are not all shrink-wrapped, and I am not going to con you by wrapping them here just to make you think they have been sterilized in America. We guarantee that the CDs and the contents are all brand new and in perfect condition. Whenever I can, I use recycled shipping materials. They may not look as pretty on the outside, but they save money and keep the trash dumps a little bit emptier.
