Globalization and its effects on the lullaby of Greeks from the city of Constanța

Summary/Abstract: In the last decades, the reduction of technological differences between the city and the village contributed to the disappearance of the cultural specificity and favored the ethno-cultural uniformity of the ethnic groups in Dobrogea. Nowadays, through globalization, people are not bound by their geographical origin and have access to a wealth of information that was previously unavailable to them. The researches that I have carried out over time on the ethnic groups of Dobrogen have highlighted the gradual abandonment of customs, traditional clothing, lifestyle, the abandonment of some creations belonging to musical folklore and have reveal the adoption of close or universal cultural models. From an ethno-musicological point of view, the globalization of traditional culture in the Dobrogean space led to the gradual disappearance from the musical repertoire of some creations belonging to different folk genres, as is the case with the lullaby. The purpose of this study is to highlight the way in which the lullaby genre from the repertoire of the Greeks from Constanța County was affected by globalization, and the adoption of universal cultural models or from the country of origin.
