A very influential Romanian band, with many remarcable hits, talented members, and tragic story.
In autumn 1975 the band is formed, after a discussion between Iuliu Merca and Ştefan Boldijar, in the restaurant “Scoica” in Jupiter.
Next year’s spring brings the name of the band: “Semnal”, and the first componence: Iuliu Merca, Ştefan Boldijar, Liviu Hrişcu (ex. Mondial), Constantin Sălăgean and Tavi Popovici.
The official launch of the band takes place in the summer of 1976, in Costineşti.
Autumn ‘77: the first single is recorded, containing “Moara” and “Durata”.
Next year comes along with their first album: “Trenul cursă de persoane Apahida - Cluj-Napoca”, and the song “Moara” gets up to the third place in the BBC charts.
Tavi Popovici, Costi Sălăgean and Liviu Hrişcu leave the band to found their own ephemere band “Semnal Cluj”; they are replaced by Paul Masgras and Ică Ioan Moca, and the band decides on the final name of “Semnal M”.
In the summer, they tour in the seaside. The winter of 1978 brings with it a new member, who is to influence the style in a decisive manner:: George “Ghiţă” Ciolac (keyboard). The manager is provided by Iuliu Şuteu from Sibiu (which has previously promoted Phoenix, and who is to later bring Holograf to the public), bringing many engagements for the young band from Cluj-Napoca.
Autumn 1979: 2-week tour in Yugoslavya.
The following year brings a decisive change, getting on board Solomon “Saci” Francisc as drummer and friend. The second album, “Cântece transilvane” is recorded. The most successful song, “Bal la Apahida”, has even reached the “traditional” Japan top, at the same time being the basis of the etno musical style in România.
