REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA / Calarasi / Palanca / January 2016 / Malanca in Palanca / The group of boys singing the Malanca song at a house in the village of Palanca. When they reach a house they all together ask as ritual if they are allowed to bring their wishes. If the owner accepts, then they will start singing the song about Melania and her life; she is the symbol of prosperity and growth, what they wish the inhabitants of the village for the new year.
