Florin Stoian (born 1 October 1979, Bucharest), better known under the stage name of Florin Salam and previously Florin Fermecătorul, is a popular Roma singer of manele from Romania. == Early life and first contact with music == Florin Salam was born into a family of lăutari. His parents, Maria and Robert Stoian, observed since his early childhood that Florin is talented and bought him an accordion and so Florin began to practice every day. During the adolescence, Florin joined his father and uncle at parties to sing together and win some money. Age did not allow his father to sing and so Florin took his place, singing with his uncle under the name of Florin Fermecătorul. Thus, he became a singer highly appreciated by connoisseurs of the genre.〔 In the meantime, Florin befriended with bandleader Dan Bursuc. He helped Florin to record his first single called "Ce gagică șmecherită" (English: ''Such a picky chick''), in 2002. He played an important part when the smash hit "Of, viața mea" (English: ''Oh, my life'') was released in 2000, sung by Adrian Minune and Costi Ioniță. At the end of 2002, Florin changed his stage name from Fermecătorul (English: ''charming'') to the Arabic Salam (English: ''peace'', cf. Hebrew ''shalom''). His first song was a great success, and for this reason he continued to record songs and market them with the help of Dan Bursuc. In this way he released his first album of manele which was surprisingly well received by fans of the genre, the album sold more than 40,000 copies. Likewise, Costi Ioniță recorded one of his albums which enjoyed a high success, album entitled "Doar cu tine" (English: ''Only with you''). The album was recorded in Constanța where Costi Ioniță has his own recording studio. His friendship with Dan Bursuc brought only advantages, so he met artists of this genre, artists like Vali Vijelie, Nicolae Guță and Daniela Gyorfi.〔 In 2008 he performed a song together with pop singer Paula Seling and the Bucharest Symphonic Orchestra. The show host described their performance as a reconciliation between manele and mainstream pop music; in the same respect, the song's lyrics raised the problem of ethnic intolerance. In October 2011, Florin Salam collaborated with musician Goran Bregović along with recorded "Hopa Cupa" and "Omule", songs included in the album "Champagne for Gypsies" of the Bosnian singer. The album is "in reaction to the extreme pressure that Gypsies (Roma) have been experiencing lately across Europe".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Champagne for Gypsies (2012) )〕 Florin Stoian is the vice-president of Asociația Artiștilor, Muzicanților și Lăutarilor Romi din România (English: ''The Association of Romani Artists, Musicians and Lăutari from Romania''). In December 2005, he was announced the best manele performer of the year. According to the daily paper ''Libertatea'', politician Mădălin Voicu and footballer Marius Niculae count among his fans. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Florin Salam」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
