ION MIU - The Godfather Of The Cimbalom

www.ionmiu.ro
My name is Ion Miu and I was born at 21 january 1955, in city Titu, Dambovita.
When I was 4 years old I started with my father to play on the cimbalom.
In all this years I obtained a lot of awards, as:
- 1973- First Award at the International Festival Berlin.
- 1979- First Award, the diploma and the honour title as "Laureat" in Bucharest.
- 1980- First Award at Balcanic Festival in Novisad upon the stick of conductor Bebe Oprea.

Unglaublich! I'm a pianist, and I don't think I could ever play that fast with such accuracy!

[@sccshadow4u]

Sa ne traiasca lautarii si sa ne mandrim cu ei; bv maestrii -Ionica minune -George Udila -Gheorghe Zamfir etc etc etc.Ce lobby au facut ei in lume Romaniei nu reusesc politicienii in 200 de ani .Mult respect!!!!

[@themancable]

That is some of the most amazing playing I've ever seen! Thanks for showing this.

[@Skovdebon]

Traiasca In Miu si toti tambalistii din Romania!!! Nici unde in lume nu se canta la tambal ca in Romania.

[@matador1111]

for all who are searching for the melody:its a hommage to liszt´s 19th hungarian rhapsody.

[@anahatatutu]

Fantastic!!! Wish I could find his records. He was in Tucson but they only brought a tiny toy cimbalom so I didn't get to see him on the concert grand. (go figure) He was touring with Le Yeux Noirs but he's better than all of them put together. : )

[@lucbun]

Yo, Anahatatu. To be honest, I didn't know the instrument and was amazed with it and with Ion Miu's performance. So I decided to make a modest contribution. Have a nice day you and your family. - c.a.t.

what da????amazing

[@MichaelButchin]

@jordan1980 It's sort of between "tsimbalom" and "chimbalom." Of course, my family has always spoken its Romanian in Bessarabian and Hungarian accents, so I could be wrong.

[@yourgranpa]

@jordan1980 in case you'd like to know, the correct word is "tsambal" and that's in romanian, cimbalom would be in english, not chimnbalom and I'm guessing his mom gave birthn to him on one of this instruments, not in a hospital, otherwise it's hard to explain his talent.

[@talesdian]

Hungarian gypsies invented this first, then became popular thru the gypsies all over Austro Hungarian empire, including Transilvania. Was adopted by the gypsies from Romania, Slovakia, Ukraine, Czech Republic.

[@MartySX1]

So i play on cilmbalom so i never play so nice as him :) thats god! :) i want to play same as him :)

[@zwartespecht]

Unreal. How virtuos can a man become?

[@TribeBangZealot]

Opa cupa!

[@LilBertt]

ROMANIA IS AWESOME :D

[@TedYoderMusic]

Absolutely incredible. I have a cimbalom sitting in my living room but it's needs lots of work. If anyone knows some way that I can restore mine, please let me know. I want to learn to play it so bad.

[@TedYoderMusic]

***** Do you know of anyone that restores these things. I don't have time to do it myself.

[@johnchiocchi7270]

Where do you live Ted. There is still a sizable Hungarian Community in the Middlesex County area in New Jersey, in the New Brunswick, Edison Township, Woodbridge Township Areas.

[@johnchiocchi7270]

On Facebook, you might try "Hungarian Heritage In America" site or "Ethnic Hungarians" site.

[@nelututimbalistu]
