Zdob si Zdub all around Europe

The Moldovan ethno-rock music band Zdob Si Zdub (Beat the Drum) has finally released its seventh album, “Ethnomecanica,” and is ready to share its new material with Ukrainian fans.

Zdob Si Zdub, who were the first artists to represent Moldova at the Eurovision Song Contest (in 2005 in Kyiv), is now a frequent guest at various European festivals, yet the musicians are not often seen in the Ukrainian capital.

During their forthcoming concert in Kyiv, the company of six energetic musicians, including vocalist Roman Yagupov, Mihai Gincu on bass guitar, drummer Anatol Pugaci, Victor Dandes on trombone, Valeriu Mazilu on trumpet, and guitarist Igor Buzurniuc, will perform their famous songs, including the Eurovision hit “Boonika Bate Doba” (“Grandma Beats the Drum”), and songs from the new album.


As a part of their concert, the band will perform their famous covers of popular singles by several well-known musicians, such as The Rolling Stones’ “Paint It Black,” and “Videli Noch” (“Seen the Night”), by the Russian cult rock band Kino.


On the list of the band’s new compositions is also their original cover version of the Roman folk tune “Ciocarlia,” which, performed by Goran Bregovic, became the soundtrack to the movie “Underground,” by the legendary Serbian filmmaker Emir Kusturica.
