Zdob şi Zdub [pron. ZDOB-she-ZDOOB] are a Moldovan musical group, based in Chişinău, whose work for the last several years combines elements of hip-hop (especially sampling) and hardcore punk with traditional Romanian music and Roma music. The name is onomatopoeic for the sound of a drum beat. The band represented Moldova in the 2005 Eurovision Song Contest, finishing 6th.
Band history
Band history
The band was formed in 1994. Various line-ups, initial sound rather hardcore and lyrics mostly in Russian, played at “10 Years After Chernobyl” Action in Chişinău, warmed up for Rage Against the Machine at the Learn to Swim II Festival in 1996; the recording of that festival includes their “В доме моем” (“V dome moiom”, “In My House”) in Russian, and “Hardcore Moldovenesc” in Romanian.
Around 1998, their sound began to change, embracing traditional Romanian/Moldovan music and with lyrics entirely in Romanian.
On August 14, 1999, Zdob şi Zdub played as part of the Russian MTV-Party, held on Red Square in Moscow, along with Russian bands “Gorky Park” and “IFK” and US band The Red Hot Chili Peppers.
The band has toured extensively, mostly in Russia, Ukraine, Moldova, and Romania, but also in Germany (1998) and the Netherlands (2000 and 2008), and more recently in Serbia, Hungary, and Italy. On January 31, 2001, in Moscow, “Zdob şi Zdub” performed with the legendary musician and film director Emir Kusturica and his “No Smoking Orchestra”.

Look, not even the song titles in the top tracks don't have 'ţ' or 'ş' and so on. Then there's also "Pasărea Colibri", which is "Pasarea Colibri" on last.fm. And i don't see why this can't be just Zdob si Zdub (plus this is a loosing battle).

So "ş" is pronounced like "sh" in Romanian. We write it like "š" in western Balkans. Zdob ši Zdub. But I listened it too much tagged like "Zdob Si Zdub" to change it now...
