Being a fan of music, there's no such thing in restricting to only one kind of genre. World Music is the most interesting and one of my faves. Japanese, Korean, Canadian, European, Thai, Brazilian, you name it. The hardest thing about loving world music is its cost. Paying over $30 for an import album may be unreasonable to most, but if I'm a fan, it's worth it. And just because I can't understand it, does not mean I don't love it!
Today, I've been listening to Cleotpatra Stratan. This almost 7-year-old Romanian folk pop singer from Modolva. She is the cutest thing ever!
At 3 years old, she held a concert, accompanied by her father, famous Romanian singer Pavel Stratan, who played the guitar. Her concert was 2 hours long singing 28 songs to a limited of 400 people. This concert was a launch for her first album. She set the record for the "youngest singer who recorded an album" and "the highest paid young artist" by the World Genesis Records. She is also the youngest artist to receive an MTV award and the youngest artist to score a #1 hit in the Romanian country. I know, WOW!
Below is Cleo's music video for one of her first hit songs, "Ghita" (the english version).
HAHA! True talent! Natural performer! She sings in Romanian for the last verse. I love that even more than the English part. I know it's hard to understand this adorable toddler's voice but isn't she just the cutest?! (for exact lyrics, click here). ps. Ghita is a male's name.
