This paper will focus on contemporary folk music and dance practices in the Romanian region of Banat. It considers how folk performers living in the city of Timisoara are taking advantage of new opportunities for fol performance provided by modern media and technologies, thus enabling them to increase their visibility and produce performances which fit into contemporary situation. It will conclude that the utilisation of these technologies has enabled folk performers to simultaneously engage with notions of modernity and nostalgia in the of their audiences and maintain a prominent profile in regional Banateni identity.
