Dona Dumitru Siminica

**Dona Dumitru Siminica** was a beloved Romanian singer known for his enchanting voice and timeless contributions to traditional Romanian and Romani music. Active primarily in the mid-20th century, Siminica became famous for his haunting falsetto vocals, which gave a dreamlike quality to his interpretations of urban folk songs (*muzică de stradă*) and Romani ballads. Born in 1926, he was a fixture in Bucharest’s lively music scene, often performing in restaurants and at social gatherings, where his emotive delivery and poetic lyricism captivated audiences.

Siminica’s recordings, like the nostalgic *Moșule te-aș întreba* and the romantic *Inel, inel de aur*, remain cherished examples of Romania’s retro musical heritage. His collaborations with instrumentalists, particularly violinists and cimbalom players, highlighted the lush, soulful textures of Romani-influenced folk music. Though he passed away in 1996, his legacy endures through reissues like the *Romanian Retro Music* series, which reintroduces his velvety vocals and nostalgic charm to new generations of listeners.
