Hora lungă

Hora lungă (Cântec lung, Rom., literally 'long song'), is a Romanian regional folksong style characterized by the union of a lyrical text and improvisational melody.

Also called hora lunga or horea lunga, (hora here is derived from the Romanian word meaning 'oration').

The singing may be accompanied by a combination of the shepherd's flute, a leaf held between the lips and used as a reed, a bagpipe, and non-native instruments.
