Moldova Eurovision 2022 Reactionalysis (reaction) - Music Teacher analyses Trenuleţul - Zdob și Zdub 

It's their third time on Eurovision. First time in 2005 they brought granny playing drums on stage 😄. They allways bring fun and joy. The performance in semi-final was better than in this video, made the crowd come alive and dancing. Sounded better too, maybe it's the guitar.

To respond to the comentator, this song would have been lost all the poetic methaphor in english. The language is romanian with a melodic moldovian accent. Same accent you hear on both sides of the Prut river (which borders today's Romania and Moldova). The song's is played on joyful wedding music - yes all weddings have a live band in Romania and Moldova that play similar melodies and people dance until the morning. The song's message is clear and beautiful - we are one people one country from Chisinau to Bucharest. A message even more powerful today.... And in the full video the reaction of the train conductor is priceless when he sees the rug is not hiding contraband goods but has the portrait of Stefan the Great a moldavian king from 15th century a national hero on both sides of the Prut river.

To be able to understand this song, you must know the history of Moldova, and of course to understand the words. The song has a deep meaning for Moldova and Romania. Because Moldova was part of Romania once, but it was token away by soviet union, after the WW2 in result of the act Ribentrop-Molotov.

Bravo, Moldova! România nu trebuia sa mai trimita pe nimeni!

This song has a very powerful message. You need to know the lyrics to understand. They are very brave singing this song.

🇲🇩 MOLDOVA has a great song!!❤

They are our Moldovian pride 😇🤘🤗💙🤘🔥🙌🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🇲🇩🇲🇩🇲🇩🇲🇩🇲🇩🇲🇩🇲🇩🇲🇩🇲🇩🔝🎉🎉🎉🎉

Did you like the fiddle, too? This is the traditional type of music you dance at Romanian weddings, (by the way, the language is Romanian) - the text is about Romania and Moldova as one country, with similar cultural traditions; so, you go by train Cişinău -Bucureşti "de acasă pân' acasă" (= frome home to home).

I have been looking at many reactions to this song. The more Western Europe the ones reacting to the song are, and not at all familiar with Balkan/Eastern European folk music, the more they dislike the song and act extremely arogant towards it, with mean comments. As you reach Central Europe, everyone is in love with the song. For us in the Balkans, those rythms are in our DNA, we party (hard) on these folk songs. It is our culture and we love it. But Even if I understand that such music is unfamiliar to you, the disgusted faces you make throughout your entire video is not appropriate. By this time, you know that Moldova was second place in public voting. At least it is a song that will be remembered, unlike many of the other songs.

They played an absolute blinder in the semi final and brought about some much needed fun to the show and qualifying for the finals (much to the ire of some!)

This song has a strong potential to become an absolute dacing hit on parties and weddings throughout Eastern part of Europe (at least). Really like it! 💗💗💗💗💗 Greetings from Ukraine!

Romanian language! 🙌🇲🇩🔝🎉💙

Ukraine❤️Moldova

in my opinion this live performance is rather weak. The official music video on the other hand is hilarious and I'd really recommend watching it! This is one of my favourite songs this year, although I know that it definitely won't win xD As far as I know, the lyrics are in Romanian (which is also spoken in Moldova) and the song is about a train ride from Chisinau to Bucharest, the capitals of Moldova and Romania. He's singing a lot about the friendship and strong cultural bonds between the two countries. This is why I think this song catches the spirit of Eurovision really well..

Folklore and Rock'N'Roll. This ethnic is great, and fun! I like it.

This literally the only song I keep listening 🤟

Trenulețul it means "The little train". This în 20 minutes while dancing if you're at a Romanian weading...

Bravo Moldova!

I wonder if the folk dancing you're referring to is the circle dance - the Hora. In 2009 there was an entry for Moldova calling Hora Din Moldova which was about that.

6:45 Roman Iagupovs 'Ho Ho Ho Ho' is a duty part in so many songs of Zdob si zdub....

it's also much revolutionary song if you know the cultural contecst

As professional music analyst myself who has served in both the conservatorium AND Jugoslavijan Navy...Moldova ROX'S!! They should have won. This is perfect song for partys. Dare I say, its is almost as good as Korobeiniki )))))) MOLVODA ROKS!! )))) luv from Dima Ivanoaf ))))

That style of music is a mix of traditional Romanian music and another style called in romanian ,,Muzică Lăutărească" ( Moldova speaks Romanian but most of the old ones speak Russian ) BTW the song is in romanian

Hi, I realy like that song. Its so joyful, at the main event they were amazing:) First i saw them in 2005 at eurovision performing song called Boonika Bate Toba, means Grandma Beat The Drums (mostly sang in english). Very cool - i recommend you to watch it:)

This is a mix of folklore and rock

That's moldavian style and some rock&roll damnnn it

I LOVE THIS!!!

I appreciate you took the time to notice all kinds of details in vocals without being in many degrees melodic. As a fun fact, all those slides in pitch and syncopations are very much embedded in our traditional music. I'm also from the historical region called Moldova from inside of Romania, as the original region of Moldova was spread from the Eastern Carpathians beyond the borders of today's Republic of Moldova and a long way in Ucraine, as well. Never mind history, there are identical architectural findings in an area that starts somewhere at the borders of Romania and Moldova for a long way in Ucraine, some thousands of years old, that actually proves a very unitary culture, known now as the culture of "Cucuteni-Tripolia". As an insider, I couldn't help but notice what Ucrainians presented as elements of culture in their song Stefania, together with the costumes, brings many similarities to what we have as well. They were brave enough to put that at the forefront, like Moldavians as well and unlike Romanians who preferred to look Latin.

Is there any chance you could react to Children of Light II by Meg Myers? She just dropped the song.

Ukraine and Moldova are my favorites in 2022. The Grand Final performance is more interesting to me than this because they have more space to move there. I appreciate the yellow and blue colors on their stage but I don't know if they are there for a purpose or just a coincidence

You should've watched the official video. It's awesome and sounds much better than whatever this version is. I loved the song, but am also confused watching this.

Hy guys. I want to avoid to comment what happened during the voting process at Eurovision Song Contest 2022. For sure, this song is not a " piece of art ". It doesn't knock you down with a complex melodically line and lyrics to induce a complex emotional state.. It's just an explosion of basic, simple, yet, overwhelming joy. What's for sure is that this song will be one of the 2022's huge market hit. You'll hear it (and dance it) where ever there will by a crowd joined together to have a good time and a smashing party. For sure, Zdob si Zdub & the Advahov Bros will make a lot more money out of this song than the Kalush Orchestra. We just received a crazy enough remedy to help us go along such crazy times that we are living now We should be thankfully for that Mulțumim frați de peste Prut. Cum să zîce la noi, în Ardeal : Dumniezo vă-mburdie-n Rai.

If you like Eurovision, please react to the 2020 entries from Russia ( Uno by Little Big) and Iceland (Think about things by Dadi Freyr) and from 2021 from Iceland ( 10 Years by Dadi Freyr) and Ukraine (Shum by Go_A)

looks like It's a kind of Polka )

they made some changes to the song why do you comment on it from national?

It's a POLKA!!! If I had to dance to it... >> Tom's Ukrainian/American wife Pam

Try listening this:

What do you know about folklore music?! Apparently nothing

Funny how someone can pretend that understands everything when he actually doesn’t understand anything at all about this song at all :)))

funny

Romanian language. Romanian is the official language in Romania and the Republic of Moldova. One people two countries.

Мне кажется автор канала обескуражен))) для русскоязычной публики они классика) послушайте песню "Видели ночь", много лет она актуальна, вне времени так сказать)

this song is weaker than their elder song DJ Vasile

Eurovision TeleVote Results: 239 🇲🇩 228 🇪🇸 225 🇷🇸 183 🇬🇧 ? LOL 180 🇸🇪 146 🇳🇴 110 🇮🇹 105 🇵🇱 98 🇪🇪 93 🇱🇹 57 🇬🇷 53 🇷🇴 42 🇳🇱 39 🇺🇦 +400 for politics 36 🇵🇹 26 🇫🇮 21 🇦🇲 10 🇮🇸 8 🇫🇷 6 🇩🇪 5 🇨🇿 5 🇧🇪 3 🇦🇿 2 🇦🇺 0 🇨🇭 They won. Oh.. wait, we live in a corrupt world, where even a song contest is tainted. 👏

I’m not sure eurovision is about good vocals. And he sings Romanian traditional music, and from what I see, balcanic/eastern european traditional music.

Slavic spirit 100% 🤣🤣🤣🤣

In my opinion, this song is boring. PS: I like to watch your reactions. 🙂
