Biografia

Magdalena-Anca Manolewas born in a mountain region in the town of Vălenii de Munte of Prahova County. Her parents were Ion and Eugenia Manole. Her upbringing in a spiritual family led her to develop a passion for music.[further explanation needed] She was inspired to be a singer by her mother, who sang folk music. As a child, Magdalena-Anca was eager to learn the guitar, and so began taking lessons from Ana Ionescu Tetelea, a folk singer from Ploieşti. At age fifteen she became a member of the Cenacle Youth of Prahova, which was led at that time by the poet Lucian Avramescu.[9] Simultaneously, Manole continued to study at The High school of Chemistry in Ploieşti,[10] from which she successfully graduated.

As a young singer she sought musical success by forming a group with Ştefania Ghiţă called Alfa şi Beta, that participated at the shows of Cenaclul Flacăra. As such, Manole became the youngest member to participate in the circle festivities (Cenaclului Serbările Scânteii Tineretului) and at the same time worked with artists including Victor Socaciu and Roșu și Negru. Between 1982 and 1985 the folk singer attended the art school called Şcoala Populara de Arta, as part of the group that had mentored Mihaela Runceanu and Ionel Tudor. In late 1980 Dan Ştefan entrusted her with the song "Pentru noi nu poate fi alt cer" ("For Us There Cannot Be Another Heaven"), which was featured in the movie Nelu directed by Dorin Doroftei. On this occasion the singer played her first movie role. In 1994, she married her life partner Şerban Georgescu.
