Music in Kill Bill and Once upon a time in America (Things you don’t know about Romania)

In the movies Once Upon a Time in America (with Robert de Niro) and Kill Bill (by Quentin Tarantino) part of the musical theme is played by the Romanian pan flute grand master Gheorghe Zamfir. His master skills in playing the pan flute are appreciated worldwide. Something that is very little known is that Gheorghe Zamfir was a member of the Romanian Parliament (without any remarkable activity). Another thing…. He lives very close to where I lived in Bucharest.

Enjoy his wonderful music (thanks to youtube anyone can enjoy his music).

This is the music from the movies:

This is a Romanian traditional song played by Gheorghe Zamfir and Trust me that's not easy to play on the pan flute...
