Devoting himself to building a new repertoire based on the musical traditions of Romania, Dalila Cernatescu has brought the music of his homeland to the modern world. Accompanied by his band, featuring Dan Dediu, Doina Rotaru, Dan Baciu and Cynthia Whitman, Cernatescu continues to bring his melodic music to appreciative audiences throughout Romania. The group was assembled following open rehearsals and workshops in Bucharest. Cernatescu first attracted attention when he placed third in the 1996 Grand Prix Eurovision competition with a piece, "Echoes," performed with Angela Wiedl. ~ Craig Harris, Rovi
