Pasărea Colibri – тема

Pasărea Colibri is a Romanian folk supergroup. Aside from typical Romanian folk instruments and acoustic/electric guitars, the band also made use of digital and analogue synthesizers, pedal steel guitars, and fretless bass.
The band formed in 1992 while Mircea Baniciu, who had left the group Transsylvania Phoenix after conflicts with leader Nicu Covaci, was performing in Râmnicu Vâlcea. At the end of Baniciu's set, actor Florian Pittiș and folk musician Mircea Vintilă, together with Compact keyboardist Vlady Cnejevici, joined him for an improvised performance after which Pittiș announced the project was to be named Pasărea Colibri, as a reference to Baniciu's on and off collaboration with Transsylvania Phoenix. The four musicians started performing together and released their first album, În căutarea cuibului pierdut in 1995. A live album containing no new work, as most of the songs the group performed were covers of Transsylvania Phoenix's old hits or Baniciu and Vintilă's own compositions, it catapulted the group to superstardom in Romania making them widely popular as Pasărea Colibri.
