I love exploring the Romanian music scene. After I was introduced to Bosquito and Subcarpați, I knew there had to be so much more – I just had to find it. Last night, I definitely think I found some awesome Romanian sounds, and I’m encouraged to think that there’s so many more I haven’t discovered. The cool thing about Romanian bands is that it wouldn’t be too difficult to travel to see them. I’m also really excited that most of these bands play exactly the kind of music I love – very chilled and mellow 🙂

First, Golan (Bucharest)

I wish I had more information about this band. The only information I could find was on their facebook page and it says:

“Golan is a three piece band based in Bucharest, Romania. Alex, Mihai and Ernesto’s different backgrounds and skills combine in a unique blend of eclectic harmonies. Using live instruments, sampling and DJing, the trio brings a much needed human touch to today’s electronic music. Their sound is melodic and dreamy while at the same time making you dance your shoes off. Get ready for the Golan experience!”

Next up, Fine, It’s Pink (Iasi)

From their facebook page:

“Post-rock with an electro-psychedelic explosion.”

Yes, please. I could listen to this all night.

Third, Nava Mamă (Cluj-Napoca)

It’s hard to pick a favorite from all the songs I listened to last night, but if I had to pick, I would say that I listened to this since three times in a row. It really helped me focus while I was packing.

From their facebook page:

“Hardcore Ardelenesc / R&B Satanic / Pop Folcloric”

R&B Satanic. That’s a new one for me.

A big thank you to Youtube, who apparently can read my mind and helped suggest these songs to me. If you want to suggest other bands to me, leave me a comment.
