The COBZA


"The cobza is a Romanian folk version of the Oud, the lute found across the Islamic world from North Africa to Central Asia. The word is Turkish; "kobuz" is the more common form of it in Turkic languages, but it can be applied to many different lute-type instruments."

Hi Folks,
There is some sound clips with cobza, sorry for quality. I made this recordings with MD in Moldavian folk music and dance camp in 2002.
The following files when the cobza accompanied in band. Generally flute, violin , drum (tapan) play together.
Paun Vasile on cobza.

Hi Koya and others,
Wow you and others posted some great recordings.

the tracks that look like this:
http://www.somoska.wire.hu/tracks/tuz_langja.mp3
http://www.somoska.wire.hu/tracks/vert_kezes.mp3
http://www.somoska.wire.hu/tracks/szerba.mp3
http://www.somoska.wire.hu/tracks/track_no05.mp3
http://www.somoska.wire.hu/tracks/track_no08.mp3

where are these musicians from? is it Transylvania? it's sounding very hungarian in style but I was surprised to hear the last track is like Geamparele rhythm.

also can you tell us the differences between the Romanian Kobza, the Hungarian Koboz and whatever it is they may use in Moldavia?

i'm so curious, and happy you introduced this stuff. I've always wanted to hear more.

best,
Adam

The Moldavian Hungarians are hungarian speakig majority in the East Carpatians in Romania. Their linguistic culture and vocal music affinity are of medieval hungarian culture, their dialect is similar with the hungarian of 200 years ago. Their instrumental music, clothing are more balkanistic because the fasion is always changing and a modern infuence from Romanians who are they living with is stronger like their hungarian roots.

Hi, thanks for reviving this thread, much of which I didn't catch the first time around. I'm completely enjoying the music on it, especially the song accompanied by Geza Fabri. I'm amazed at how moving it is....Can someone tell me what the lyrics are about?
