These people were performing in different Romanian cities singing South American folklore songs of their native country, and of some Peru band called Alborada (but I am not sure if Alborada also uses folklore as well). In the end they are just making a buck by entertaining. Who is to say that this is wrong?

ti-am lasat un meme, te rog
they play in brasov all the time. fake accords of something once sacred. pimped up bull for the untrained listener. he didnt want to say that they were from bolivia because alborada are from peru.
I saw them two days ago and I was frightened: as two of them were playing, the third was shaking some scary stuff, a pipe with feathers, or something, while a fourth was dancing with some CDs in his hands. The music is relaxing, I can’t deny, I heard it as I was crossing a street, in Piata Unirii, and I thought it is linked to the elections…then to some tai chi in the parc, then, as I said, i got scared. And I’m not the little bunny in the woods:)
They do look kida weird and scary, don’t they? But it’s not entirely the fake non-south-american traditional costumes that do the job.
