Editing Singer-songwriter (section)

=== Romania ===
Despite the [[communism|communist]] isolation, the tradition of the singer-songwriter in Romania flourished beginning with the end of the 1960s and it was put in the context of [[folk music]], with its three main styles in Romania: ethno folk, American-style folk and lyrical (cult) folk. The framework for many of these initiatives came under the form of [[Cenaclul Flacăra]], a series of mass cultural events with an inevitable ideological touch. Still, with the merit of supporting great opening initiatives: the appropriation of Western artists like [[Bob Dylan]], [[Joan Baez]] and others from the [[Woodstock]] generation, the public performance of gospel-like music, the opening to big international issues (pop culture, accountability of the leadership, tension surging during the Cold War-with surprisingly neutral positions, etc.).
Overall, the Romanian folk, in general, could be marked as an underground cultural movement, somewhere between non-aligned and protest music.{{Citation needed|date=October 2019}}
