During the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, a pseudo-industry of weddings developed in Romania. Throughout the country, hundreds of bands developed the chosen sound of family events, which later became known as “proto-manele” – a mix of electrified oriental pop and local flavor. Raze de Soare’s EP Albatros is a tribute to the eponymous “proto-manele” band that pioneered synthesized minimal restaurant music.
