Nai or Pan Flute

Dear, Valy and friends!
I'd like to share with you something interesting about Romanian traditional musical instruments. When Valy posted the children's video "Alunelu, Alunelu", I remembered that I've listened to its "nai" or pan flute yet. It was when I visited Romania the last year.
The nai is a Romanian and also Moldavian diatonic pan flute used since the 17th century and used in Lăutari formations. It is best known as the instrument played by Gheorghe Zamfir/Wikipedia/.
You can watch a video of "nai" and listen to this fantastic music presented by Gheorghe Zamfir!
Kind regards, Reny

Reny, thank you!!! :) For us as Romanian this means a lot. I am happy to know that people from other countries know something nice about our traditions and about Romania. Gheorghe Zamfir dedicated his life playing the "nai"/ pan flute and "talking" in this way about Romania and its beauties.

Dear Reny, thank you for this video. It is a pleasure to listen to this tender music - I could be moved into an another space and time. Music has universal language. It can be understood by all people, regardless of what language they speak. I fell in love with the music of Gheorghe Zamfir. Thank you, thank you!Svetla :)
