Colindatul în satele din Lunca Prutului de Jos şi Cotul Dunării

Abstract

The caroling in the south of Bessarabia, in the lower course of the Prut, the Danube and the Black Sea has been preserved in its old archaic forms, varied and very rich. In this ethnographic area we will find a great variety of carols such as: the carol of the house, of the baby, of the lad, of the girl, of the young, of the engaged, of the widow, of the priest, of the hunter, of the fisherman, of the dead, the carol of the falcon, the carol of the vine, at the vineyards of the Greeks, the breath of the sea, of the star, etc. All these carols are of great artistic value. From the perspective of protecting the intangible cultural heritage, this cultural area is of prime importance both for the Romanian culture, as a whole, and for the European one.
