Ileana Sararoiu
Encyclopedia
Ileana Sararoiu (25 September 1936–12 May 1979) was a renowned Romanian singer of traditional, popular/folk music. While not as famous as Maria Tănase
, she still remains one of the most important Romanian female folk singers alongside Maria Tănase
, Maria Lătăretu (belonging to the first generation of great Romanian folk singers), or Maria Ciobanu (belonging to the second). Her song-masterpieces, according to Romanian experts, are: "Doi voinici din Valea Mare" and "Unde e Targovistea". The first is a song about two lads who went hunting but, instead, they encountered two sisters to whom they got married. The second is a story of a sad mother who waits for her son in a train station from a Romanian town. She does not see anybody came except a girl who she has never seen before. The girl turns out to be the wife of her son.
