Lanham, Ma	2019	4	.htm	application/pdf	1368	53	30	The initial chapter, by Giurchescu and Rădulescu, surveys typical manele performance contexts (life-cycle celebrations, restaurants, clubs, concerts, competitions), rhythmic and melodic structures, lyrical content, gender considerations, and choreographic models, drawing useful comparisons between manele and other regional and Romanian dance styles. These nouveaux riches include politicians, businessmen, and mafiosos who became the patrons of manele performances and the acclaimed subjects of their song lyrics in the 1990s and early 2000s.	cache/aeer-27299.htm	txt/aeer-27299.txt
