Foreign visitors traveling to Bucharest for the first time have a rather negative representation of Romanians. However, in a couple of days, they are surprised to get to know people who are well-read, fluent in at least two foreign languages and ready to tackle a wide range of topics in day-to-day conversations. Music is still a conversation warmer, so here is a series of words related to music in Romanian.
