Marin Bunea & taraf
feat Jean-Christophe Gairard & Mihai Trestian
Born in northern Moldova and immersed in traditional music from an early age, Marin Bunea passionately carries forward the rich musical heritage he has inherited. As the fifth generation of an old lautar family from Baraboi-Edineț, his connection to this unique tradition runs deep. Marin describes the music of traditional lautari as “warm, spiritual, light, and full of brightness.” Reflecting on his craft, he says, “As a violinist, captivated by every technical detail, I am constantly amazed by the extraordinary technical mastery, stylistic refinement, and artistic brilliance of the lautari.”
Marin is a violinist, conductor, arranger and composer specializing in traditional styles, performing both in Moldova and internationally. He has toured and played concerts with numerous traditional music ensembles in over 20 countries, including Romania, Italy, Belgium, France, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Denmark, Poland, Greece, Portugal, Serbia, Slovenia, Croatia, Turkey, the USA and Canada.
This concert is organized in the frame of Fiddlers On The Move, a folk violin festival 10th edition / De Centrale-Gent / directed by Wouter Vandenabeele from 5th to 9th march 2025
