Pasărea Colibri is a Romanian folk band formed in the early 1990s. The original members of Pasărea Colibri were all important names on the Romanian folk scene. Mircea Baniciu was the lead vocal of Phoenix, one of the most successful Romanian folk-rock bands, and considered to be a very talented singer. Mircea Vintila was a successful folk singer, renowned for his light, smooth voice and overall good taste of his performance. Vlady Cnejevici was considered to be the most talented keyboard player in Romania. And last, but not least, Florian Pittiş, a talented actor, acknowledged for his unique voice and his involvement in the cultural scene.

Pasărea Colibri was an instant recipe for success, touring Romania and releasing three album before the first breakup. In 2000, Florian Pittiş left the band and was replaced by Marius Baţu, ex-member of Poesis and a long time partner of Holograf. In the new formula, Pasărea Colibri launched a new studio album, “Încă 2000 de ani” (“Another 2000 years”), with some commercial success.

After 2001, Pasărea Colibri started to get a lower profile, especially after Mircea Vintilă left the band. Mircea Baniciu, who was also the lead vocal of Phoenix, brought Marius Baţu along, and Phoenix briefly toured with Marius Baţu as well.

At the moment, Pasărea Colibri is a three-man band, featuring Mircea Baniciu, Marius Baţu and Vlady Cnejevici. However, their concerts are quite rare. Nevertheless, ex-members often sing together in concerts, but not under the name of “Pasărea Colibri”.
