The Emblem of the Jiu Valley
The Folkloric Ensemble “Junii Petrileni“ was established in 2010 as an expression of the desire to faithfully preserve the traditions and customs of the elderly inhabitants, ancestral residents from the Jiu Valley. We set out on this journey with the intention of carrying forward the tradition from this beautiful region. As the coordinator and founding member of this ensemble, I, Constantin Cigmăian, have gathered from the elders of the villages the old dances, chants, the Ardeleanca whirl, the Jiana, the Hora on the left, trying to continue the tradition and maintain its authenticity. We were also joined by Lucreția Cătinean and Gheorghe Cigmăian, who knew what the dance and tradition of the Jiu Valley meant, as they too had performed on stages across the country years ago.
They equipped us to carry on the tradition, and in turn, we are passing it on to our children. Today, the Junii Petrileni are a true emblem of the Jiu Valley. The ensemble’s repertoire includes traditional dances, the Jiana, Momârlăneasca, and the Bătrâneasca on the flute, as well as Jienești songs and the flute, which have held a special place in the spiritual life of the Jiu Valley. These have been carefully preserved in the dowry chest for over 70 years. The ensemble consists of dance teams (both adults and children), vocal soloists, flutists, and instrumentalists.**
