Gheorghe Zamfir is a God. Well, he does not have the hindquarters and the legs of the goat, not to mention the horns, but he plays the pan flute better than Pan, the Greek God of flocks, rustic music and companion of nymphs.

Ever since he was discovered in the 60's, he hypnotizes all those who came to listen to his music. No wonder he sold more than 40 million recordings and was awarded an amazing 90 golden and platinum disc awards. No wonder his music can be heard on the soundtrack of many famous movies worldwide, no wonder he can make 9 tones of each of the 20 pipes a Romanian pan flute has.No wonder, because he is a God! He and no one else! To explain why, of all pan flute performers in the world only Zamfir can play Ciocarlia, a very fast and complicated piece of Romanian folk music, developed first in the Dinicu family and than by the more famous George Enescu. Listen to it and feel the joy of life, feel the paesants rushing their chores, the harvest time.

Now,after you listened to it, you'll want to buy the album. You'll turn into a fan of Zamfir. Romania-eye team is wishing you a good luck because it will surely be a pleasant journey into the real music of Gods, and Zamfir is generous about it: he recorded more than 200 albums this far.
