Concert Judas Priest la Bucuresti / Judas Priest in Bucharest


In public, zaresc o tanara care poarta o ie. Absolut fascinanta, combinatia dintre camasa traditionala romaneasca si atmosfera unui concert heavy metal marca Judas Priest!
Langa mine, o distinsa domnisoara. Descoperim ca purtam amandoua acelasi prenume, Lucia.
Cat despre publicul si atmosfera din timpul concertului, il citez pe dnul Scott Travis, bateristul Judas Priest, care, la un moment dat, ne spune:
Bucharest, Romania, I think from now on we should call you Bucha-Rock, Romania!

I notice, in the audience, a young lady wearing the traditional Romanian blouse called "ie". Absolutely fascinating, the combination between the traditional Romanian blouse and the atmosphere of the Judas Priest heavy metal concert!
Next to me, a distinguished miss. We find out that we have the same first name, Lucia.
As for the audience and the atmosphere during the concert, I quote Mr Scott Travis (Judas Priest - drums, percussion), who tells us:
Bucharest, Romania, I think from now on we should call you Bucha-Rock, Romania!

Henri Matisse dedicated one of his paintings to the traditional Romanian blouse.
This artwork is entitled "La Blouse Roumaine".

At the initiative of the "La Blouse Roumaine" online community, The Universal Day of the Traditional Romanian Blouse is celebrated each year on June 24.

Poarta / The Gate

Langa templul vechi
piersici infloriti.
Un om prin campul galben

Near the old temple
in bloom peach trees.
