Panseluta Feraru's repertoire is a combination of traditional folksongs from her native province of Arges in Oltenia, and urban style songs from the towns.

In Romania she is a popular 'restaurant singer' and is in demand due to her vocal dexterity and elegance. She sings in the Rom (gypsy) Lautari style and is regarded as one of the finest exponents of this music.

From record label:
"The Lautaris (from the word lautar, which originally meant a lute and by extension came to mean a violin), are still at the core of Romanian traditional music. After the lavish and opulent show of the courts in the "good old times", both rural and urban Lautaris have managed to carry on the inspiration of their sung traditions and peasant rituals, taking them even further and developing an extremely sophisticated style in the context of the Romanian capital. Panseluta Feraru is one of the most important lautar singers of Bucharest. She fits into the tradition already confirmed by the famous Romica Muceanu, who died just recently, or the great Gabi Lunca who now sings only sacred and religious songs, to the exclusion of everything else. The art of these women is an absolutely essential element in the musical tradition of Bucharest, but is still relatively unknown and unrecognised in the rest of Europe."
