ROMANIA
My Favourite Romanian Band
Alternosfera is an alternative rock band
from Chisinau, set up on 13 December
1998.
It was set up by 2 high school friends,
Marcel and Marian. After many years, the
band members changed and now the
members of this band are Marcel Bostan
(singer and piano), Anatolie Pugaci
(drums), Victor Cosparmac (bass guitar),
Sergiu Aladin (guitar and piano) and
Marin Nicoara (the second guitar and also
piano).
The band’s first songs were in Russian,
because, owing to the fact that they come
from the Republic of Moldova, their official
language before 1989 was Russian,
despite the fact that they are Romanian.
But the first song in Romanian was
‘’Wamintirile’’, in English ‘’Memories ‘’,
made in 2003.
The first album was ‘’Orasul 511’’ ‘’511
City’’ (2005).The name of the album
comes from the number of the garage
where they had the rehearsals.
Their second album was ‘’Visatori cu
plumb in ochi sau ultima scrisoare pentru
femeia nordica’’ ‘’Dreamers with lead in
their eyes or the last letter for the
northern woman’’. This album ends the
age of romanticism.
The 3rd album,’’ ePIzodia’’, is structured
by Amalia
in 3 parts: ‘’Virgula’’ (Point), ‘’3’’ and
‘’14’’. If you put them next to each other,
their cover album forms the constant π.
The album ‘’Virgula’’ (“Comma”) is the
third album and has 14 songs.
In my opinion, this is one of my favorite
bands because it sounds better and
different from the music these days. The
lyrics of the songs transmit a lot of
emotions and feelings and, in my opinion,
those lyrics can be poetry if you listen
carefully and you try to understand them.
