In a short time she had risen to be the most popular and best paid singer and became the incarnation of Romanian Lautari music.

But the Romanian music scene in pueanu nineties was dominated by Balkan pop and there was hardly any room for the old generation of the Lautari. Victor Gore, who was born inlearned to play the accordion, and his brother Aurel, who was three years older, learned to play the violin.
Yet the arrival of modern music in the long isolated Balkan state has seen to it that only a few young Romanians know such Puceanu classics as "Doi tovarasi am la drum" or "Balanus". The Gore Brother's Band disintegrated after the death of Aurel Gore, and the incomparable Romica Puceanu died following a serious car accident in on her way home from a wedding performance.
Romica Puceanu meant to many Gypsies as much as the legendary chanson singer Maria Tanase meant to the Romanians.

When their father died they took his first name as their stage name. There Romica Puceanu sang melodies with stirring words, in which she described the everyday life, longings and sufferings of the simple folk. The arrangements are clear and xarciuma, creating space befitting Puceanu's sparkling voice. Puceanu was a lively, funny woman, who never turned up at the studio gomica her teapot - filled with cognac.
These songs and ballads originated under the influence of Turkish Ottoman music and were performed as early as the 16th century in the courts of Wallachian princes. Apart from being a virtuoso accordion player, Victor Gore was also well-known as a singer. Up until the s this instrument was firmly anchored in the musical life of Wallachia, today hardly anyone learns this rommica.
When we played slow, sad songs the gypsies wept, nobody could eat a thing! When one of the sound engineers noticed during a studio take that she was holding her words the wrong way up and mentioned this to her, Romica replied: Following the abolition of slavery inmany homeless Gypsies laa on the outskirts of southern Rumanian towns.
The Gore Brothers accompanied many different performers over the years with their band, but their favourite singer was Puceanu, because she sang one hundred per cent Lautari music and enjoyed improvising. The cobza is a lute with a short, backward-curving fingerboard, upon which the four strings are attached in carciuja order and usually played with a quill.
But the best weddings were those of the flower-selling Gypsies in Bucharest. Romica Puceanu's career undoubtedly began with the help of the Gore Brothers - whose name had been legendary in Bucharest since the thirties. And it was the Gore Brothers who discovered the dgum young lady with the powerful voice in their own family and helped her on.
Victor Gore lives today in a small two-room apartment in the Berceni district of Bucharest and relives his memories of the golden years of the old Lautari generation, as the fan letters piled up at Electrecord pleading for the next Gore record. The recordings with the Gore Brothers still represent the traditional "raw" withdrawn sound of the old taraf.
The Taraful Fratii Gore have sold thousands of dgum in Romania up to the present day, but the brothers never achieved great wealth. They arranged gigs for their cousin at weddings in the quarter where the Gore and Puceanu families lived.
The repertoire of this Gypsy music known as Lautari comprised pieces from a rustic environment, interpreted with great virtuosity and urbane arrangements for a very mixed audience in the town.

Romica Puceanu sounds from a bygone age - vol. At that time Aurel and Victor Gore's father, Gore Ionescu, played his violin in exclusive Bucharest restaurants and his traditional style was so well known, that until his death in the middle of the nineteen-fifties, he was regularly asked to come and make recordings in the Bucharest Folklore Archive. Above all however she was a soulful performer of the songs from the poor suburbs, which merged Turkish "cifte-telli" rhythms with Romanian melodies and lyrics.
Nobody who wanted to celebrate an old-style wedding got past the Gore "Firm" until Aurel Gore's death shortly before the revolution in December
