Paula Hriscu is 31 years old and is one of the most skilled young women in Romania in bringing tradition, and especially traditional songs with a strong emotional charge, to the general public. However, this capacity for "transportation" is not accidental. From her childhood in an isolated commune, among fields that needed to be worked and animals that needed care, to working in a gambling hall in Cluj Napoca, totally out of keeping with her past, Paula believes that she has remained the same. "I have remained with the purity of that time," she says in the "Magic Life" podcast with Liana Stanciu. Paula remembers her past education, her work from 20-30 years ago, the days when there was always something to do. "I milked the cow, gave it hay, took it to water. Sometimes I did my homework by the lamp. I miss it and that light so much. [...] But there was no stress," she captures the essence of this transformation over the years. The discussion with Paula is about tradition, culture, custom. "This is Romania, this defines us as Romanians," says the performer, proud of what she does and what she feels. And perhaps her greatest pride is related to something that is obvious to the naked eye when you listen to her: she has remained one of the few completely honest people. #MagicLifePodcast #LianaStanciu #PaulaHriscu
