Sârba

Sârba

A "Sîrba" or "Sârba" (meaning "Serbian [dance] " in Romanian) is a Romanian dance normally played in 2/3 or 2/4 time. It can be danced in a circle, line, or couple formations and was historically popular not only among Romanians, but also Ukrainians, Hungarians, East European Jews, and the Poles of the Tatra Mountains. It is fast-paced and triplets are usually emphasized in the melody.

The "sîrba" is still popular in Romanian traditional music and in Klezmer music.
