Monkey Business: Ada Milea with Dorina Chiriac and Radu Banzaru and "In Oaza"

Our randomly selected song today is called In Oaza. It is a fantasy story for children sung by Romanian singer and actress Ada Milea with the help of Romanian actors Dorina Chiriac and Radu Banzaru. Ada Milea began her career in the Transylvanian city of Târgu Mureș and after starting in theater she became a singer. She has released 11 albums. Dorina Chiriac is described as one of the most beloved Romanian actresses of her generation, and received an award for her work in the film Terminus Paradis. Radu Banzaru is best known for his roles in the movies The Whistleblower, Amen, and Restul e Tacere. In Oaza tells the story of Apollodorus who, in a desert oasis, is approached by a sad monkey who wants to marry him. Unfortunately for them, the monkey's parents will not let it happen. I guess that's the lesson kids - don't ever marry a monkey! In Oaza can be found on Ada Milea's album Apolador, released in 2004.
