Costel Vasilescu is well known for accompanying Romanian folk music
legends such as
Ion Petre Stoican and
Romica Puceanu
"Costel Vasilescu was born in the Moldovan town of Ramnicu Valcea in 1940. When he was a young child, his father took him to weddings where he often saw Romania's greatest trumpeter,
Hopa Mitica (who became his idol). Like Mitica, Costel furnished his trumpet with a metal or wooden mute depending on the occasion, thus giving this instrument a velvety sound that was compatible with southern Romanian suburban music. Using his trumpet he refined the best
Electrecord recordings with muzica lautareasca, and often went into the studio with the renowned
Gabi Lunca, Romica Puceanu and the Gore Brothers. He performed primarily at weddings."
