Longing cries, it does not extinguish…

The authentic voices of Irina Rimes and the Osoianu Sisters create a perfect balance between emotion and authenticity in the song “Mama”. This creation is a harmonious blend of folk tradition and modern musical elements, turning each verse and note into a profound journey through the human soul. David Ciente is an independent artist and producer, with over a decade of experience and numerous hits produced for artists such as Selena Gomez, INNA, Alexandra Stan, and Antonia. In his new project, he aims to merge Romanian culture with EDM music. His first release, “Ielele”, in collaboration with Irina Rimes, was a success, gathering millions of streams on digital platforms, and his first live performance on the main stage of the Untold Festival (one of the largest festivals in the world) was very well received by both the festival audience and online viewers. In the near future, David Ciente will release new songs that will include elements of Romanian culture, whether they are lyrics, melodies, authentic instruments, or even photo/video materials.

Irina Rimes is one of the most influential artists in the Romanian music industry, with a career marked by international successes and a strong connection with the audience. With a distinctive style and an unmistakable voice, she has managed to conquer both radio and TV charts and the hearts of millions of fans. Her albums “Despre el”, “Cosmos”, “Pastila”, “ACASĂ”, and “Origini” are full of hits that have become anthems of Romanian music, such as “Visele”, “Ce s-a întâmplat cu noi” and “Iubirea noastră mută”. Irina has proven her versatility not only through her solo career but also through her successful collaborations with artists such as Guess Who, Carla’s Dreams, The Motans, INNA, and Grasu XXL, as well as through songs composed for Andra, Antonia, and Nicole Cherry.

In 2022, Irina launched the mini-series “Pe drumul meu”, which had a strong impact on her fans, and the song “Ba ba ba – Inima mea bate” was designated the most listened song of the summer, according to Media Forest. Also, Irina returned as a judge on “The Voice of Romania” on PROTV, continuing to impress the audience with her authenticity and talent. In 2023, Irina released new hits, including “Neiubita ta”, “Flori de mai” and “Gelos”, and her collaboration with Theo Rose, “Stinge Luminile”, was included on the official soundtrack of Miami Bici 2. 2024 began with the success of her collaboration with Dan Balan for the song “Ultima noapte” and continued with “Dudadu”, a hit that dominated DJs’ playlists and benefited from remixes by Tiesto and Steve Aoki.

Written by Irina Rimes and David Ciente, “Mama” is more than a song – it is a declaration of love, a tribute to mothers, and a celebration of the bond between generations. Through the intensity of the voices and the depth of the lyrics, the song conveys longing, gratitude, and universal love for the most important figure in everyone’s life.

“Our new song is actually the first one composed together with Irina Rimes, about 3-4 years ago, just before the well-known song “Ielele”. I proposed to Irina to start together a project that combines folklore with modern music. I showed her an instrumental and in 15 minutes we had the song “Mama”, written from start to finish. That day, Irina gave me a lot of confidence to continue this concept and for that, I am deeply grateful,” says David Ciente.

“For me, this song is very emotional. It makes me think carefully about the relationship I have with my mother, the relationship I had with my grandmother. When we composed it, a few years ago with David Ciente, the lyrics just flowed. I hope it brings a little more gratitude for mothers everywhere,” says Irina Rimes.

“The collaboration with Irina Rimes and David Ciente has a special charm and holds a special place in our repertoire. These wonderful young people convince us that music connects generations, and folklore will endure thanks to their talent to bring it to the stage. Every time we work together, David energizes us with inspired rhythms and amazes us with his unique way of conveying the musical message, and Irina delights us and convinces us that our cultural heritage will not be lost in the mists of time, that the most precious values are transmitted from generation to generation. This happened with the song “Mama”, which deeply touched us from the first listening. For us, it was like an imaginary journey through the Universe of the maternal soul. The song triggered an avalanche of emotions and reminded us with much, much longing of our mother,” say the Osoianu Sisters.
