From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cristian Vasile (May 8, 1908 – 1985) was a Romanian, well-known tango-romance (Romanta) singer between 1928 and 1949, famous for songs like "Zaraza", "Aprinde o ţigară", "Ce să-ţi mai scriu", "Pentru tine am făcut nebunii", "Nunuţo". Cristian Vasile was to be remembered as "the last troubadour". Although he was supposedly at odds with Zavaidoc, another famous Romanian singer of the era, there is no proof that such a rivalry existed beyond pink novels and rumors. His greatest success, the song "Zaraza", said to refer to a Gypsy woman he was in love with at that time, was in fact a plagiarized version of a Uruguayan tango written in 1929 by Benjamín Tagle Lara.[1]
