Gadjo dilo adrian minune11/11/2023 ![]() Sadly, his rise to fame occurred largely before manele singers started producing their own videos for their songs, so finding one on Youtube was tough. He also is an “Italian mafia” gypsy in good standing, wearing the obligatory flashy suit and abundant gold jewelry around his neck whenever he appears on stage, usually flanked by beautiful and much taller women to gyrate to his songs.Īdrian Minune’s specialty was a kind of manele singing which I call the “Heartbreak Hotel” style – almost all of his songs are either about a woman who broke his heart or else how life itself is tough and oh, woe is me, how much suffering I have suffered, lawd, lawd. I will give Adrian credit – the guy has a voice on him. No idea however if Danny has ever even heard of Adrian Minune though. I couldn’t swear this is true but I do believe he actually legally changed his last name to “De Vito” or at least he tried. ![]() The name “Adi” is just the standard nickname in Romanian for people named Adrian but the “de Vito” part was in homage to the American actor Danny de Vito. Then later on, he decided to switch his name yet again, this time to “Adi de Vito”. ![]() See? So even though he was a grown adult, because he was short, he called himself “the kid”. So why the name? Well because the guy is a midget, or a dwarf, or to use the completely correct term, a little person. He was one of the first manele superstars of Romania back in the early days of the genre, but he never sang as a child. Then he got sick of that name so he decided to change it once again to “Adrian Copilul Minune” or “Adrian the Wonder Kid” (literally Adrian the Child Wonder and not “Adrian Wonder Boy” as it says on Wikipedia LOL). His real name on his passport is Adrian Simionescu, which is a fine and earthy name, but being the showbiz whiz he is (and what a showbiz whiz he is!) he decided early in his career to go by the name “Adrian Minune” which means something like “Adrian the Magnificent” (literally Wondrous Adrian). Sadly, it’s increasingly rare to see Adi de Vito on Romanian TV these days but at one time he was the universally acclaimed Emperor of Romania. Have you seen my identical American twin, Danny?
