Celebrating Hideg Anna’s 90th birthday – Printed here are birthday greetings to Hideg Anna ‘Annus néni’ of Ördöngösfűzes/ Fizeşu Gherlii (Mezőség region, Transylvania, Romania) - from several people who have worked closely with her. Hideg Anna, a lifelong village resident, is a natural talent with an enthusiastic and charismatic personality known to many. She is a traditional singer, dancer, story teller, possessing an encyclopedic memory, talent and conscious respect for her local tradition. Several publications have documented her songs, stories and traditional knowledge. Here are 5 lengthy greetings, anecdotes from meeting and working with her; tributes to the amazing scope of her knowledge and intellect. “…Every song she sings, every tale she tells, every humorous story – radiates her positivity, and the strength of her love and respect for traditional culture …. She is our mountain of information, source of joy, our inspiration, our teacher, our example for life…. a 90 year old young woman who continues to sing, dance (!), and tell stories…. Many Happy Returns, Dear Anna Néni!” (Agócs Gergely)” Magyar Zoltán, Sándor Iildikó (also a recommendation for Magyar Zoltán’s 2023 book on Hideg Anna), Horsa István, Tekei Erika and Agócs Gergely
