Conceived as homage to Maria Tanase (1913-1963), who is considered the greatest Romanian folk singer, this original ethno-jazz concert skillfully overlaps her music and jazz. Maria Tanase -referred to as "the Edith Piaf of the Romanian folk music"- was heard and admired by US President Hoover, Andre Gide, Yehudi Menuhin, Constantin Brâncusi, George Enescu, Walter Gieseking, Ionel Perlea and Jascha Heifetz. Today, nearly forty years after her death, Maria Tanase continues to occupy a special place in the Romanian musical culture and in the heart of all Romanians.
Teodora Enache about "Radacini/Back to my Roots”: "The idea for this record came from my quest for deeper meaning. Singing these tunes made me experience the pain, the joy, and the struggles we fight from birth to death… The exchange was so intense, that I did not know, and still don't, if I was singing my roots or my roots were singing me?!
