Cristian Vasile
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cristian Vasile (1908 - 1985) was a Romanian, well-known tango-romance (Romanta) singer between 1928 and 1949, famous for songs like "Zaraza", "Aprinde o ţigară", "Ce să-ţi mai scriu", "Pentru tine am făcut nebunii", "Nunuţo". Cristian Vasile was to be remembered as "the last troubadour". He was the enemy of another Romanian singer Zavaidoc and an important personality in Romanian music. His greatest success, the song "Zaraza", was actually the name of a gypsy woman he was in love with at that time.
