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 Pasărea 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 such a manner designed to reflect Romania's multiculturalism. Since 2012, he has also collaborated with Romanian latin rock band Bosquito, being featured on their single, "Întuneric În Culori", numerous live concerts with the band, and their 2012 MTV Unplugged show.

Lipan has a son, a musician like him, who lives in Germany. Provided by Wikipedia
