Tonel and Vieru or About the Meaning of the Ballad

Overview

The memory of a tragedy of passion – a double murder that took place in a shepherd’s village 50 years ago – is preserved in the form of a ballad. The villagers recall the events and the musicians talk about the birth of this song that lacks the victim’s point of view, because the assassin is the one who commissioned them to compose this ballad.
