Nicolae Guță (born 3 December 1967) is a Romanian Roma manele singer from Petroșani.
Guță started as a singer and accordionist in the late 1980s, playing lăutărească music.
Two years later, he released his first mainstream hit – "De când te iubesc pe tine" (English: "Since I've Been Loving You"), featured on his second long-play record.
[1][2] Starting around 1998 Guță developed a growing interest in manele music, a club-friendly subgenre of Balkans folk music influenced by Turkish and Arab pop, similar to what is known in former Yugoslavia as turbo-folk and narodna and in Bulgaria as chalga.
Some of his songs are: "Aș renunța", "Am greșit și eu", "Dacă vrei", and "Doar tu".
