Americana Folk Music @ National Museum of Literature

On Saturday the 22nd of February, Fulbright ETA Colin Cutler played a concert of Americana folk music and original music at the National Museum of Literature in Bucharest. Currently teaching at "Lucian Blaga" University in Sibiu, he first played at the museum with Bulgarian Fulbrighter Lilly Drumeva O’Reilly in December. He was joined this time by Ana Maria Dumitru and Ovidiu Mihăilescu.
“It was an absolute pleasure to share the songs, a bit about the history of the folk tunes, their diaspora via Scottish and Irish immigration and the African-American contribution of both musical styles, songs, and instruments like the banjo. I am very grateful to Loreta and the museum for having me back, everyone in the audience, and to Ovidiu and Ana Maria for joining me on stage!”
The director of PR at the museum, Elena Loreta Popa, said, “Colin managed with positivity, smile and warm heart to conquer the audience present at the concert, as did the two guests, Ana Maria Dumitru and Ovidiu Mihăilescu.”
