Editor's note

Zdob Si Zdub's folk-punk from Moldova

A six-piece band from Chișinău that mixes traditional Moldovan folk with punk rock.

For a quick sense of their sound, try 'Everybody In The Casa Mare' or 'Maria Blues', they're both good examples of that folk-punk mix.

They've been blending local sounds with punk energy since 1994, with songs like 'Everybody In The Casa Mare' and 'Tractorul' showing how they pull it off. Their 2005 Eurovision performance with 'Buna Dimineata' brought them wider attention, and they've kept that raw, hybrid sound going for decades.

Formed in Chișinău in 1994, they released early albums like 'Ethno-Punk-Moldova' in 1996 and 'Hardcore Moldovenesc' in 1999. They've represented Moldova at Eurovision multiple times, including in 2005, and put out later work like '450 Years' in 2011.
