Maramures project was initiated and coordinated by Mehdi Aminian and developed together with Peter Hurley. This project is built on tradition, innovation and improvisations by the 7 musicians from 7 different countries who spent 7 days in the villages in the mountainous area of Maramures and lived the life and music of the villagers there.
This is the full album of Roots Revival Maramures which is the recording of the live performance at the Radio Hall (Sala Radio) in 2014.
