Her music ranged from traditional Romanian music to romance, tango, chanson  and operetta.T\u0103nase has a similar importance in Romania as \u00c9dith Piaf in France or Am\u00e1lia Rodrigues in Portugal.[1] In her nearly three-decade-long career, she became widely regarded as Romania’s national diva, being admired for her originality, voice, physical beauty and charisma. In Romania, she is still regarded as a major cultural icon of the 20th century.[2][3] In 2006 she was included to the list of the 100 Greatest Romanians of all time by a nationwide poll.Among her songs are Cine iube\u0219te \u0219i las\u0103 (1937), Leli\u021b\u0103 c\u00e2rcium\u0103reas\u0103 (1939), Bun \u00eei vinul ghiurghiuliu (1938), Doina din Maramure\u0219 (1956), Ciuleandra (1956) and P\u00e2n\u0103 c\u00e2nd nu te iubeam.[4]Table of ContentsBiography[edit]References[edit]Further reading[edit]External links[edit]Biography[edit]Born in Bucharest suburb of C\u0103r\u0103midarii de Jos, or C\u0103r\u0103midari, Maria T\u0103nase attended Primary School number 11 from T\u0103b\u0103cari. Her father, Ion Coanda T\u0103nase, was a master gardener and a florist, also owner of a big nursery on the outskirts of Bucharest, which employed female workers from different various regions of Romania. These women, in turn, would share traditional folk songs and tales which deeply enthralled little Maria, which was to leave a permanent mark on her.She made her stage debut in C\u0103r\u0103midarii de Jos, at the “Ion Heliade R\u0103dulescu” High School. In 1934, she joined the “C\u0103r\u0103bu\u015f” Theatre of Constantin T\u0103nase with the help and advice of newspaper writer Sandu Eliad, who, at that time was her partner.[5] Her real debut took place on 2 June 1934 with the stage name Mary Atanasiu. In the fall of 1937 she recorded her first folk songs at the Columbia studio in Bucharest. On 20 February 1938[6] her voice was heard for the first time on the radio. Shortly after, she started to develop a local and international following. She represented Romania at the 1939 New York World’s Fair. During the first months of the National Legionary State, Maria T\u0103nase was banned from performing in public and her recordings were destroyed.During World War II, together with George Enescu, George Vraca, and Constantin T\u0103nase, she was making stage tours singing in front of soldiers injured on the battlefield. In December 1943, she sang at the Christmas festivities at the Royal Cavalry Regiment, where King Michael I of Romania, Ion Antonescu, Mihai Antonescu, and all the members of the government were present as guests. In 1944 Maria T\u0103nase took time to sing in Edmond Audran’s operetta “Mascota” (The Mascot).  After World War II, she performed in Review Ensemble Theatre and “Constantin T\u0103nase” Satirical and Musical Theatre. She had parts in the plays “The Living Corpse” by Leo Tolstoy in 1945, and “Horia” by Mihai Davidoglu in 1956. In 1946 she held the main part in the musical comedy “The Hollywood Sphinx”, by Ralph Benatzky. She sang in the movie “Romania” in 1947, and in 1958 she performed in both “Ciulinii B\u0103r\u0103ganului” (The Thistles of the B\u0103r\u0103gan), and the short-reel film “Amintiri din Bucure\u0219ti” (Memories from Bucharest). During these years Maria was also touring a lot, she had over forty trips only to New York City.In 1952, Maria T\u0103nase was offered a position at the Music School No. 1 in Bucharest, in the newly created traditional folk song department; 1962 found her guiding “Taraful Gorjului” (The Gorj Folk Music Band) in T\u00e2rgu Jiu and the artists from “taraf”, at her own request.On 1 May 1963, after a concert in Hunedoara, she was forced to cancel her tour and any other performances due to sickness. On 22 June 1963, she died of cancer. She was buried at the Bellu Cemetery in Bucharest, Romania.In 1955, Maria T\u0103nase received the State Prize and in 1957 she was honored with the medals “Ordinul Muncii” (The Order for Activity), “Premiul de Stat” (The State Award), and the title “Artist\u0103 Emerit\u0103” (Honoured Artist of the Republic) for her contributions to the arts.However, within her lifetime, she had also been fondly remembered by many Romanians as their own Edith Piaf, the legendary French singer. T\u0103nase died in June 1963 of lung cancer, three months short of her 50th birthday, whereas Edith Piaf died in October, two months away from her 48th. Throngs of people had filled the streets of Bucharest on the days of her death, to memorialize the lady who helped popularize the folk music of their country.

Her voice penetrates me, stirs me, disturbs me so strongly that I always leave as if I tasted a miraculous potion; I feel like I don’t have control over my own feelings!“[10]Nicolae Iorga famously called her “Pas\u0103rea m\u0103iastr\u0103” (“The Majestic Bird”).[11]Mihail Sadoveanu considered her “the first authentic rhapsodist” of the Romanians.[12]The 2009 Laureate of the Nobel Prize in Literature, Herta M\u00fcller, has spoken many times about the influence that Maria T\u0103nase had on her: “When I first heard Maria T\u0103nase she sounded incredible to me, it was for the first time that I really felt what folklore meant. Romanian folk music is connected to existence in a very meaningful way. However, German folklore was not at all inspiring for me.“[13]British musician Nigel Kennedy with Polish Kroke band celebrated her legacy with a recording titled “Tribute to Maria T\u0103nase”, which was included on his 2003 album East Meets East.[14] The musical themes of this track are Maria T\u0103nase’s song Lunc\u0103, lunc\u0103 (Meadow, Meadow) and Gheorghe Zamfir’s S\u00e2rba b\u0103tr\u00e2neasc\u0103.The character of Florica in the first novel of Olivia Manning’s Fortunes of War trilogy is supposed to have been based upon Maria T\u0103nase.[15]In 2013, musical group Pink Martini named Maria T\u0103nase one of their greatest inspirations[16] and covered the song P\u00e2n\u0103 c\u00e2nd nu te iubeam.In 2013 Romanian singer Oana C\u0103t\u0103lina Chi\u021bu who lives in Berlin, published album Divine with songs from the repertoire of Maria T\u0103nase.On 25 September 2013, Google Romania celebrated Maria T\u0103nase’s legacy with a doodle, which marked what would have been her 100th birthday.[17]References[edit]^ “Maria Tanase”.
