Gorj

 

RENCONTRE AVEC LA ROUMANIE / GORJ 
TRESORS FOLKLORIQUES 

 MEET ROMANIA/GORJ
FOLKLORE TREASURES 

Electrecord, ?, STM-EPE 0803

 Another album from that series issued perhaps in 1973 according to Discogs. This second-hand album features the band named Doina Gorjului from the city of Târgu Jiu and led by Gelu Barabancea. 
Gorj is a district in South-West Oltenia. The famous sculptor Constantin Brâncu
și was born there. 
Nothing much to add; the whole series works on the same pattern. The band plays  with soloists : Costel Burleanu on fluier, Sandu Trohonel and Nicu 
Lătărețu on fiddle, Nelu Ciocan on naï; two female singers sing two songs each, Ileana Leonte and  Filofteia Lăcătușu. 
Texts in English and French.
