Debut album - ‘Be One’ - Nico de Transilvania
Released on 1st November 2019 on the Muzică Without Frontiers record label.
“I’ve realised that environmental preservation is intrinsically linked with the protection of ancient traditions, instruments and folk songs. If we lose the forests, we lose the communities that live in them, and their culture is dispersed. We need to protect both, as these people are the guardians of the forests and they have so much to teach us and pass on to the future generations. Music and film bring inspiration to peoples’ lives. They connect us. My intention with this initiative is to encourage the younger generation in particular to engage in the preservation of their own environment and cultural heritage through music and arts.” Nicoleta Carpineanu, Founder Forests Without Frontiers.

After DJing for 20 years, Nico released her first album ‘Be One’ in 2019, featuring traditional folkloric instruments and songs from her homeland Transylvania. Its aim is to help preserve the old traditional instruments and folk songs from Transylvania and bring them back to life on an electronic dance music platform.

All proceeds from the album sales/donations will go towards planting an oak forest in Transylvania, near the area where the musicians live. Please help us plant a forest for the future generations and preserve the environment where these communities live. Nicoleta would like to acknowledge the “The Administration of National Cultural Fund” in Romania who helped to make it all happen.
