Dorin Liviu Zaharia

Dorin Liviu Zaharia was one of the most interesting figures of the 60s and 70s Romanian pop music scene. He was probably the first Romanian musician interested in mixing Romanian folklore with Indian music. He sang with the band Olimpic '64, developing a sound and attitude that were opposite to the comunist regime's commandments. He wrote, along with Dan Andrei Aldea, the music for several romanian movies - such as the cult Duhul Aurului and Nunta de piatră (dir. by Dan Piţa and Mircea Veroiu). He also wrote the rock opera "Karma Kalyuga" . He was born in 1944 and passed away in 1987.
