    Hello,
    First of all, I'm from The Netherlands and I can't write in Romanian. Sorry for that. I'll add a google translation below.

    I'm a fan of the 60s/70s/80s Romanian lautari [gypsy] music. It's quite hard to find much info about it, there are some interesting books about the subject, but only in Romanian language, which I can't read. Websites I can translate with google, of coarse.

    Now I was wondering, is trumpet player Vasile Vasilescu? They sound the same (with the muted trumpet), play together with the same musicians and even the pictures on their Discogs profiles appear the same.
    On this wikipedia page, music released on Various - De Joc Și De Voie Bună is credited to Costel, instead of Vasile: https://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/Costel_Vasilescu

    So, is it the same person, are they twin brothers or something else?

    Mulțumesc!

    Buna,
    În primul rând, sunt din Olanda și nu pot scrie în română. Imi pare rau pentru asta. Voi adăuga mai jos o traducere Google.

    Sunt fan al muzicii lautari românești din anii 60/70/80. Este destul de greu să găsești multe informații despre asta, există câteva cărți interesante despre subiect, dar numai în limba română, pe care nu le pot citi. Site-uri pe care le pot traduce cu google, de grosier.

    Acum mă întrebam, este trompeta [a = Costel Vasilescu] aceeași persoană ca [a = Vasile Vasilescu]? Acestea sună la fel (cu trompeta dezactivată), cântă împreună cu aceiași muzicieni și chiar imaginile din profil lor Discogs apar la fel.
    Pe această pagină wikipedia, muzica lansată pe Various - De Joc Și De Voie Bună este creditată lui Costel, în locul lui Vasile: https://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/Costel_Vasilescu

    Deci, este aceeași persoană, sunt frați gemeni sau altceva?

    Mulțumesc!

    Nobody? If there's no reply within a few days I will change the profile of Vasile Vasilescu to an ANV of Costel Vasilescu.

    i have no idea, i do not like that kind of music. but i would keep the different profiles, it is very possible that they are brothers or other kind of close relatives. it is/was quite common that most are musicians in gypsy families.

    i have no idea, i do not like that kind of music. I have a lot of records with Folk and Gypsy Music from Romania, but they are for my mother. But i´m gonna take a look. Best Regards

    After short recherche, here is my opinion: Costel Vasilescu and Vasile Vasilescu are the same person. But, it´s just my opinion.

    Thanks, it's my opinion too, and I also got confirmation from Suburban Bucharest (Mahala Sounds From Romania).
    I'm not sure yet if Vasile should be an ANV or an alias of Costel. For now I will add it as an alias (=easier), but maybe it has to be changed to an ANV later on.
    So, any additional info is still welcome.
