Romanian song of the week: “Nu ma opri' by Les Elephants Bizzares

The newest song from Romanian band Les Elephants Bizzares features lyrics in Romanian, unlike previous releases from a band that have quickly established themselves on the Romanian indie scene.

The new single warrants heavy rotation on radio stations in Romania and has high chances of becoming a hit. It will be included on the band's upcoming album, to be released this autumn. The song's electro-rock rhythm and lyrics about following dreams go well together. Listen to the song below. Described as a disco-punk, indie rock, indie-pop, alternative rock or even a funk band, Les Elephants Bizarres are part of the indie wave on the Romanian music scene, with influences from electro and pop. The band are Stefan Matei (vocals), Proka (vocals, guitar), Hasan Nabulsi (bass), Claudiu Stirbei (drums) and Nae (synth). The first album, “Hello”, was released in October 2009. The band are currently working on their second album, which will be launched this spring. The band are known for songs like “Hello says the devil”, “Have no fear”, “Mushroom girl”, “The Boys” and “Smile”. editor@romania-insider.com (photo source:
