During the pandemic, some great things happened, such as the creation F\u0103r\u0103 Filtru band, which took place on May 11, 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How did it happen? Well, everything happened naturally. The bassist from ABB (formerly Amala), Kombell Cramba, and Cris \"Pappy\" Irinoiu (formerly Labirint, Etajul 4, Fire Escape, The Stitch) met spontaneously, without any specific intention to initiate a musical project.\nAfter several sessions together and creating various original compositions and covers that revolved around the analysis of contemporary society, the two realized that the next step towards forming a new band was finding another member. After a year of searching, Carina Melu\u021b met all the requirements. Finally, F\u0103r\u0103 Filtru was ready for their first stage appearance, as a complete lineup.\nWhat does \"F\u0103r\u0103 Filtru\" actually mean? It refers to the absence of \"the filter between thought and verbal expression, with the only possible impediment being rhyme. However, the music is definitely rock. What kind of rock? F\u0103r\u0103 Filtru\nleaves that decision to the audience.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
