Answer 1

Manele (singular: Manea) is a Balkan music style mainly derived from Turkish love songs, considered by many to be a form of sub-culture.

The phenomenon is most prominent in Romania, especially in rural areas and poor urban neighbourhoods, but is also present in Bulgaria, Serbia, Albania and parts of Turkey


The manele current is a mixture of dance, hip-hop, oriental influences, some Balkanic, but also with a very strong influence from Roma music. The texts and verses of the songs usually refer to love, enemies, money, drinking alcohol, and the hardships of life in general, but there are also some texts specifically designed for parties, weddings and so on. Manele composers and players also use the term "oriental music" for their creation, and consider their music as a sub-genre of traditional, folk Roma music. Traditional Roma musicians reject this approach, and consider manele a distinct and inferior genre, by taking into account a list of differences between manele and Roma music: Traditional Roma music is played using classical instruments, usually by a band (taraf) of lăutari, using classical lyrics, always performing live, and rejecting the idea of mixing genres and using modern influences (although accepting remixes of their songs), while manele are sung most of the time by only one performer using modern instruments (generally synthesizers). However, there are a few exceptions among the maneliste: for example, Stana Izbaşa and Nicu Paleru sing live, often with traditional instruments. Most manele are recorded in small recording studios, owned by the singer himself or by a group of singers, since major recording labels refuse to contract players of the genre.

Manele players generally adopt a stage name, such as Calu Minune (Wonder Horse), Adi de Vito (he used the name of Danny DeVito due to some resemblance to the American actor in terms of height and weight). He was formerly known as Adrian Copilu' Minune (or Adrian Puradelu' Minune, also known as "Adrian The Wonder Child"), Vali Vijelie (Vali the Storm, his real name is Valentin Rusu, also known as "Cioară"), Florin Fermecatoru' (Charming Florin), Sorinel Puştiu' (Sorinel the Kid), Ştefan de la Bărbuleşti (Ştefan from Bărbuleşti), Florin Salam (Florin the Salami) or Jean de la Craiova (Jean from Craiova). The only significant manele players ("manelişti" in Romanian) not adopting stage names are Costi Ioniţă and Nicolae Guţă (who later admitted that his real name was Nicolae Linguraru).

Manele male singers have created a distinct image on the Romanian music scene, by having their own fashion style (very tight T-shirts, tight pants, white sneakers or expensive shoes, with a lot of gel in their hair and wearing a lot of gold jewelry), and by owning luxury cars (usually either a Mercedes S-Klasse or a convertible BMW).

Answer 2

Manele is a music style mainly derived from the Turkish love songs, considered by many to be a form of sub-culture. Howewer, taking a closer look at the historical context, we may consider tracing the origins of this musical style, as far as the period when the Romanian principalities where under the sovereignity of the Turks. This music style is not common only to Romania, but may also be found in Serbia, Bulgaria, and other Balkan countries.
