10/2006 — Ioan Ivancea has died

Ioan Ivancea, senior chief of Fanfare Ciocarlia, has died aged 66 in the early hours of Friday, 20th October 2006 after severe illness in his home surrounded by family and friends. We’ll all deeply miss Ioan and his ways of bringing back the moving memories of his life, his distinctive playing of the clarinet as well as his melancholic singing full of character. We feel very grateful for all those years we’ve shared with our friend and will do everything to keep his memory alive. Ioan Ivancea’s family has our deepest sympathy.

Ах жаль-то как! Надеюсь, у них гастроли в Дортмунде не сорвутся.
