Zdob Si Zdub

History of the band

"Zdob si Zdub" ("Hit the Drum") musical band was put together in 1994 in Moldova. Before that, the singer Roman Yagupov, the bass-player Mihai Gincu and the drummer Anatol Pugach had together attended a school in a small town from the suburbs of Chisinau, called Straseni. They found the missing musicians during their studies at the Sports College in Chisinau. The line-up of the band was constantly changing: sometimes the band had two singers, sometimes - two guitarists. As a result, one guitarist became a singer, the clarinetist - a drummer, and the drummer - a bass-player.

In the spring of 1994, Roman Yagupov met the future producer of "Zdob si Zdub" - Igor Dinga, the singer of the seminal band "Cuibul". In June, the band got some attention from the music media in Chisinau, while playing before the "Cuibul" performance.

In November 1994, the first demo was recorded in a professional studio, and one song, "The Lost World" passed the selection of the "Learn To Swim I" Festival in Moscow, where the band appeared for the first time as "Zdob si Zdub". The band managed to immediately capture the attention and sympathies of Moscow extreme youth and made friends with the local alternative bands, especially with the "IFK", that accepted "Zdob si Zdub" invitation to play at the "10 Years After Chernobyl" Action in Chisinau.

In July 1996, "Zdob si Zdub" participated at the "Learn to Swim II" Festival, where they played before the world famous alternative band "Rage Against the Machine".

Two songs were recorded for the "Learn To Swim II" compilation: "V dome moiom" ("In My House") in Russian, and "Hardcore Moldovenesc" in Romanian. The second song has become an absolute hit, and it still is the "visit card" of the band. All national radio stations broadcasted "Hardcore Moldovenesc", which became the hymn of the alternative youth in Moldova, being in the top of the hit parades. The same song was included in the "Romanian Underground" compilation in Romania, attracting attention due to the obvious Moldovan dialect.

At the end of 1996, as a result of the deal with the Russian label "FeeLee", "Zdob si Zdub" recorded their debut album "Hardcore Moldovenesc". The entire album is in Russian, with the exception of the title track.

In January 1997, the band had an opening performance for "Biohazard" and "Rollins Band" in Moscow.

In March 1997, the band made a promotion tour with the Russian band "Tequilajazzz" in Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Chisinau.

In August 1997, "Zdob si Zdub" played at the "Kazantip" Festival in Crimea in front of thousands of people.

In October 1997, the band recorded 10 songs of the album "Hardcore Moldovenesc" in Romanian, for distribution in Romania.

In December 1997, "Zdob si Zdub" initiated the "Learn to Swim" Festival in Chisinau, and invited the bands "Kirpitchi" from St. Petersburg and "Neurotica" from Timisoara (Transilvania, Romania).

In 1998, "Zdob si Zdub" toured a lot, and at the end of the year had a two weeks tour in Germany. After that, "Zdob si Zdub" started to work on a new album, heading away from the American hardcore-concept, making more use of ethnic instruments, using them in the same extreme way, but with a more melodic, lyrical Moldovan touch. All the new songs are written in Moldavian dialect of Romanian language.

This was the beginning of a new stage: preparation for the recording of a new album under the name "Tabara Noastra". The album was recorded with the help of the famous Moldovan musicians, and, namely, Anatol Stefanet from "Trigon" (violin alt), Valeriu Cascaval from the folk music band "Barbu Lautaru" (dulcimer), and Eugen Didic from "Cuibul" (trumpet). The album consists of 12 songs, three of which are in Russian and the remaining - in Romanian. Three songs have been recorded and submitted for promotion: "Draga Otee" - an old hit of the well-known Moldovan musician Iurie Sadovnik, the soulful ballade "Maria Blues", and "Zdubii Bateti Tare", resembling the Moldovan hardcore.

After the debut and triumphal concert in Bucharest, "Zdob si Zdub" has shot its first video clip on the title-track "Zdubii Bateti Tare" at the Romanian music channel Atomic TV in Bucharest.

In May 1999, "FeeLee" released the Russian version of the album "Zdubii Bateti Tare" under the name "Tabara Noastra".

The presentation of the new album "Tabara Noastra" took place in St. Petersburg on May 26, 1999, and in Moscow on May 21-28, where the band had an opening performance for "Soulfly" (Max Cavalera, ex-"Sepultura"). On August 14, 1999, "Zdob si Zdub" was invited to one more unforgettable show in Moscow - the Russian MTV-Party, held on the Red Square. With other Russian bands, such as "Gorky Park" and "IFK", they opened the concert of "Red Hot Chili Peppers". There were about 150.000 people watching this show live, and, probably, even more on the transmission on MTV-Russia.

On Christmas Eve, together with "Taraf de Tigani din Clejani", the band performed a concert at the legendary "Laptaria lui Enache" in Bucharest. Gypsy "Lautars" made a strong impression on Roman Yagupov. Their influence is felt in the next album "Agroromantica".

In January 2000, the band was invited at the EuroSonic Festival in Groningen, the Netherlands. The performance was broadcasted by 14 radio stations. There the band got acquainted with the director of Sziget festival Mr. Dan Panaitescu.

"Zdob si Zdub" became the most touring band and received the prize of the "Fuzz" music-magazine (St. Petersburg) as the best CIS live group in Russia for 2000.

On January 31, 2001, in Moscow, "Zdob si Zdub" played together with the legendary musician and film director Emir Kusturica and his "The No Smoking Orchestra".

On the 9th of May 2001, in Moscow, the "Zdob si Zdub" participated at a concert with the occasion of the Victory Day, performing the cover-version of the wartime famous song "Smugleanka-moldavanka". This song was recorded at the studio, entered many compilations and was sold in million copies.

On the 19th of May 2001, "Zdob si Zdub" played at one of the most prestigious Russian festivals - "Maxidrom" for the second time. 20 000 people were singing Primavara song together with Roman Yagupov.

Regardless the tight concert schedule, from September 2000 until May 2001, the band had been working on its new album "Agroromantica", which was recorded and mixed at the "FM Division" Studio in Moscow. According to the musicians, the new album is an amazing mixture of country romantics, fiery Balkan gypsy music, Moldovan folklore, and hardcore elements. This diversity could be called "music zdob".
