Oana Lianu, the most glamouros and gifted Panpipe's woman artist of our time, was born on March 7, 1976, in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, in a loving family devoted to folklore. Her father, Ion Lianu, is one of the most endowed and well known artists of wind instruments (taragot, pipe, long pipe, bagpipe, ocarina, Jew's harp), trained in the Romanian national ensemble Martisorul led by Dumitru Farcas. Her mother, Doina, also sang as a student on the same Romanian folklore festival stages as this ensemble, where she was to meet her future husband. Thus, the future Princess of Panpipe had a very favorable environment for the development of the artistic skills she showed early on.
