Abuabua Romanian Band

abuabua it’s a romanian band, born in Bucharest (in 2014).
A handful of seeds (our first released album) material it’s built on old romanian lullabies. The songs have been collected by Elena Șulea (voice and violin). She is ethnomusicologist and she wrote an essay about world music. Also, she studied longer time the romanian lullabies.

Călin Torsan (wind instruments) and Juan Carlos Negretti (our percussionist from Venezuela) have developed another world music project for ten years: Einuiea group. They have a rich experience in this style. They made two records with Einuiea: Byzantine stories (with romanian, jewish and turkish influences) and Noa (with japanese roots, after a two month japanese tour).

abuabua is:
Elena Șulea – voice, violin
Călin Torsan – wind instruments
Victor Podeanu – guitar
Juan Carlos Negretti – percussion
Vasile Gherghel – artistic producer

We added a few lullabies from all the world of our program, to emphasize the soporific character of our material A handful of seeds.

In old romanian language, abua is a vocable used for try to fall asleep one child.
