Ovidiu Lipan

Ovidiu Lipan 'Țăndărică' (born January 31, 1953, in Iași) is a Romanian drummer.

He played between 1966 and 1975 with the Romanian rock band Roșu și Negru. In 1975 he joined Transsylvania Phoenix. In 1977 he settled in Germany, but after 1990 he moved back to Romania. Now he has solo projects and also plays with Pasarea Rock. His 2007 album Iskender, a collaboration with Stelu Enache and Gheorghe Zamfir, featured reinterpretations of traditional Macedonian songs. The arrangements feature Greek, Roma, Slavic, and Celtic touches, among others, in a manner designed to reflect Romania's multiculturalism. Since 2012, he has sustained a collaboration with Bosquito, appearing in their single, "Intuneric In Culori", numerous live concerts with the band, and their 2012 MTV Unplugged show.

Lipan has a son, a musician who lives in Germany.

Discography

Ovidiu

Ovidiu (Romanian pronunciation: [oˈvidju], historical name: Canara, Turkish: Kanara) is a town situated a few kilometres north of Constanţa in the Constanţa County, south-eastern Romania. Ovidiu is quite small, with a population of around 12,000, and many wealthy inhabitants of Constanţa retire there.

In 1930, the town was renamed Ovidiu after the Roman poet Ovid (Latin: Ovidius). He was supposedly buried on a nearby small island (also called Ovidiu) in the Siutghiol Lake.

Administration

The town of Ovidiu administers the villages of Poiana (historical names: Cocoşul - until 1964, Turkish: Horozlar - until 1926) and Culmea. The latter was established in 2011 by legally separating from Ovidiu two territorially distinct communities, Social Group Culmea and Social Group Nazarcea.
