Revealing the Romanian Traditional Music on Jazz is the title of project which contains live recordings performed by Florin Raducanu and his band at the "Porgy & Bess" jazz club in Vienna (Austria) in October 2010. The Romanian traditional music consists of a multitude of specific styles characteristic to Romania's historical regions. 
Drawing its multicultural influences from the Balkans and the Danube-Carpathian region, the traditional Romanian music contains original elements musical elements belonging to the Oriental region of the Balkans and even Celtic ones. 
This rich heritage is reflected on "Breaza" and "Geampara" featuring Oriental rhythms and inflexions, and on "Mocirita", "Cantec din Oas" and "Catu-I Maramuresu'", infused with with Celtic themes. The musicologists and anthropologists found Celtic influences in the traditional music of the Maramures-Oas region of Romania, which makes this music easily understood by listeners familiar with Celtic music. There is a common element specific to the world music, that is spontaneous creativity and improvisation.
 The Romanian "Doina" is a song with an improvising structure similar to the Afro-American "Blues" or to the Hindu "Raga". The musical project "Revealing the traditional Romanian music on Jazz" is a synthesis of world music and jazz that illustrates how jazz can unify genres and traditions. (Florin Raducanu)
