The plastic crisis is a serious problem. The production, processing, recycling and disposal of plastic consume large amounts of fossil resources and energy, involve the use of numerous harmful chemicals and the emission of highly toxic substances and greenhouse gases, and thus pose a threat to the climate, the environment and our health. We need to bring about change and tackle plastic pollution along the entire value chain, focusing on prevention rather than cure.
Let's talk about these problems. What is your experience/involvement with these issues? How is it being dealt with (e.g. at the policy level)? And what can we do and demand to tackle the plastic crisis?
Discussion participants among others: Andreas Henneberger (Zero Waste) and Andres Fath (Professor of Chemistry and researcher on microplastics) - open to more participants.

Together we will dive into the Danube in Călărași. Afterwards, we will talk and exchange about our relationship with the Danube:
What is your personal relationship with the Danube? Is it a friendship? Like a lover or a family member? How does the relationship to the Danube change after swimming in it? How does it feel to swim in a river? Where do we swim in the Danube in our home places? What is similar, what is different to Călărași?
We will create recordings of the conversation and create a Danube audio piece. On Sunday, this audio piece will be available. You can listen to the audio while swimming in the Danube with waterproof headsets.
The Schwimmverein Donaukanal has set itself the goal of revitalizing the Danube Canal as a swimming spot in the city center of Vienna.
We want to establish a new culture of river swimming around this inner-city arm of the Danube, in which the risks of swimming in flowing water are dealt with responsibly.
The joy of swimming in the Danube Canal connects us. It is refreshing, exciting and relaxing at the same time. It lets us see and experience the city from exciting new perspectives.
We strive to work with all users and stakeholders of the Danube Channel to make swimming safe and possible in the future.
The Schwimmverein Donaukanal will offer community swim slots (at what time?) on Saturday and Sunday. We will talk about our experience of safer swimming in rivers. Together we will enjoy the Danube swimming at the Călărași beach.
As soon as the Danube audio piece is ready it will be available during those swims.
Care este relația ta personală cu Dunărea? E de prietenie? Seamănă cu cea pe care o ai cu un partener sau cu familia? Cum se schimbă relația cu Dunărea după ce înoți în ea? Cum te simți când înoți într-un râu? Unde putem să înotăm în Dunăre chiar la noi acasă? Ce este similar și ce este diferit față de cum este în Călărași? Vom înregistra conversația și vom crea o piesă audio despre Dunăre. În duminica festivalului, o facem publică, ca să o poți asculta în timp ce înoți în Dunăre cu căști impermeabile.
Schwimmverein Donaukanal și-a propus să revitalizeze Canalul Dunării și să-l transforme în loc de înot în centrul orașului Viena.
Vrem să dăm startul unei noi culturi a înotului în jurul acestui braț al Dunării din centrul orașului și abordăm responsabil riscurile înotului în apă curgătoare.
Bucuria înotului în Canalul Dunării ne unește. Este revigorant și relaxant în același timp. Ne permite să vedem și să experimentăm orașul din perspective noi, altfel, mai interesante.
Ne străduim să lucrăm cu toate părțile interesate pentru a face înotul sigur și posibil în viitor.
Suntem Schwimmverein Donaukanal și vă oferim sesiuni de înot comunitare sâmbăta și duminică. Vom discuta despre experiența noastră de înot în râuri, vom înota la Călărași și vom asculta piesa creată împreună, care sărbătorește frumusețea Dunării.
During the workshop „Danube swim cap“ participants reflect on the bathing culture of the Danube by designing and producing a unique and site-specific swimming cap.
Hybrid Dessous designs and sews hybrid garments between swimwear and underwear. They translate their artistic and site-specific research into wearable unique pieces, into wild and playful collections. They use elements from the local context, from historical patterns and diverse stories about bathing clothes and underwear.
În cadrul atelierului „Danube Swim Cap“, participanții reflectează asupra ideii de îmbăiat în Dunăre prin proiectarea și producerea unei căști de înot unice, specifică locului.
Hybrid Dessous proiectează și confecționează articole vestimentare aflate la limita dintre echipament de înot și lenjerie intimă. Traduc cercetarea artistică și specificul locului în piese unice, în colecții sălbatice și jucăușe. Utilizează elemente din contextul local, din modele istorice și povești diverse despre echipamentul de înot și lenjeria intimă.
Under the name of Into:Wild Michelle and Liam operate an environmentally conscious adventure collective, where they combine adventure, activism and educational work.
In one of their projects called One Way Boat they visualized the issue concerning pollution of natural water resources focusing on the Danube.
For this purpose, the two photographers set out in a self built vehicle made of recycled materials to symbolize this intention. In three and a half weeks they covered a distance of +1000km going from Vienna to Drobeta-Turnu Severin.
In addition to idyllic nature shots, experiences along the river also include challenges - both for the natural environment and those that the adventure team is confronted with itself.
Along the water, not only water samples were collected but also interviews were made with scientists, ministries and residents along the Danube to capture a wide range of view points on loads of the Danube.
În One Way Boat, Michelle și Liam conduc un colectiv de aventură orientat către protecția mediului, care îmbină aventura, activismul și educația de mediu.
În cadrul acestui proiect au adus în prim-plan problema poluării resurselor naturale de apă, concentrându-se asupra Dunării. Cu acest scop, cei doi fotografi au pornit la drum pe Dunăre într-un vehicul construit de ei înșiși din materiale reciclate. În trei săptămâni și jumătate au parcurs o distanță de peste 1000 de kilometri, de la Viena la Drobeta-Turnu Severin.
Pe lângă cadrele idilice ale naturii, experiențele de-a lungul râului au inclus și provocări - atât pentru mediul natural, cât și pentru echipă. Pe parcursul călătoriei, au fost colectate mostre de apă și au fost realizate interviuri cu oameni de știință, reprezentanți ai ministerelor și locuitori pentru a surprinde o gamă largă de puncte de vedere cu privire la încărcătura râului.
Along the Danube, many groups, organizations, and people are involved with even more great ideas, projects, and concerns. We bring them together. In three workshops, the representatives get to know each other, discuss current concerns, learn from each other, develop common ideas, and formulate demands for politics and society.
De-a lungul Dunării, multe grupuri, organizații și oameni sunt implicați într-un număr și mai mare de idei, proiecte și grijă față de mediul înconjurător. Noi îi aducem împreună. În trei ateliere, reprezentanții se cunosc, discută despre preocupările actuale, învață unii de la alții, dezvoltă idei comune și formulează cereri orientate către lumea politică și societate.
Let's get into the water together! We will go swimming and show what clean water is worth to us. Accompanied by members of the Donaukanal swimming club from Vienna, Danube swimmer Andreas Fath and record-breaking swimmer Teodor Tsvetkov, we will do a group action. Let us surprise you!
Intrăm împreună în apă. Mergem să înotăm ca să arătăm cât de prețioasă este apa curată. Însoțiți de membrii Clubului de Înot Donaukanal din Viena, înotătorul Andreas Fath - obișnuit cu Dunărea și înotătorul cu recorduri Teodor Tsvetkov, transformăm înotul în acțiune de grup. Pregătiți-vă să fiți surprinși.
Psychedelic breath-work is an offering for individuals to connect to a space inside of them beyond rational thinking and knowledge. Thoughts are often „chaos creators“, however we can never fool our hearts. Our hearts connect us to nature and life. Over our breaths, we can connect to our hearts.
Dr. Janina Botsford, psychologist and therapist, working with grown-ups and children with classic psychotherapy and somatic therapy.
Respirația psihedelică este un prilej pentru oameni de a se conecta la spațiul interior dincolo de gândirea rațională și cunoaștere. Gândurile sunt adesea "creatori de haos", însă niciodată nu ne putem păcăli inimile. Inimile noastre ne conectează la natură și la viață. Prin intermediul respirației, ne putem conecta la noi înșine, la ce simțim, la inimile noastre.
Dr. Janina Botsford, psiholog și terapeut, lucrează cu adulții și copiii în terapie clasică și terapie somatică.
Every movement begins with a story. Whether it is a social, political, or environmental issue that you care about, this workshop is designed to give its participants a chance to refine their storytelling skills to strengthen their voice or that of the organizations they work with. Over three days, we explore the conception, planning, and execution or storytelling projects, through examples from our workshop participants. Participants should come ready to explore their own needs and goals, and be ready to collaborate with others.
Fiecare mișcare are la bază o poveste. Indiferent dacă este vorba despre o problemă socială, politică sau de mediu care vă preocupă, acest atelier este conceput pentru a oferi participanților șansa de a-și îmbunătăți abilitățile de storytelling pentru a-și întări propria voce sau vocea organizațiilor pe care le reprezintă. Explorăm timp de trei zile conceperea, planificarea și realizarea proiectelor de storytelling, prin exemple din rândul participanților noștri la atelier. Participanții trebuie să vină pregătiți să-și exploreze propriile nevoi și obiective, dar să fie pregătiți și pentru colaborarea cu ceilalți.
The workshops consists of different modules explaining the formation of microplastic, how it is distributed, why it is harmful and what we can do to contain it. We will emphasize the meaning of the cooperative approach to environmental protection. The river needs cooperation between the countries along the danube, overcoming geographic, political and social barriers and setting an example for international conservation of our environment. H2Org is an NGO that encourages young people to be environmentally aware through playful environmental education.
Atelierele constau în diferite module care explică formarea microplasticului, modul în care este distribuit, de ce este dăunător și ce putem face pentru a-l controla. Vom accentua importanța cooperării în protecția mediului înconjurător. Râul are nevoie de cooperare între țările care se înșiruiesc de-a lungul Dunării, trecând peste bariere geografice, politice și sociale și oferind un exemplu de conservare internațională a mediului nostru. H2Org este o organizație neguvernamentală (ONG) care încurajează tinerii să fie conștienți de mediu prin educație ecologică jucăușă.
We are water. The first direct contact we have with water is our own body. Sometimes, we forget that all waters flow into a larger body of water, and we forget that we are part of Nature. The eco-performative route invites participants on a performative/eco walk, during which they are encouraged to ask questions, observe, and become more aware of plastic pollution in water. At the end of the route, the collected plastic will be transformed into a map, serving as a wake-up call for water pollution, sometimes visible in the form of plastic, and other times as microplastics that remain unseen.
Suntem apă. Primul contact direct pe care îl avem cu apa este chiar corpul nostru. Uneori, uităm că toate apele se varsă într-o apă mai mare, uităm că suntem parte din Natură. Traseul ecoperformativ invită participanții într-o plimbare performativă / eco walk performativă, de-a lungul căreia sunt invitați să își pună întrebări, să observe și să devină mai conștienți de poluarea apelor cu plastic. La finalul traseului, corpul din plasticul adunat va deveni o hartă, cu rolul de a trage un semnal de alarmă asupra poluării apelor, uneori pline de plasticul care se vede, alteori de microplasticul care rămâne.
We will use materials that we already have, such as packaging, used wrapping paper, and more, to create new objects that we can play with while learning essential concepts about sustainability, the importance of nature, and why it's good to collect and recycle. The workshop will combine art therapy techniques and storytelling around objects and ecology.
Folosim materialele pe care deja le avem, de la ambalaje, hârtie de împachetat folosită și altele și vom crea noi obiecte cu care ne vom juca, în timp ce vom învăța noțiuni esențiale despre sustenabilitate, importanța naturii și de ce e bine să colectăm și reciclăm. Atelierul va îmbina tehnici de terapie prin artă și storytelling în jurul obiectelor și ecologie.
It is a workshop dedicated especially to the little ones, but also to adults who want to hold the earth in their hands.
In the workshop, we talk and touch the soil, the tiny insects that are in it, water, and seeds of different kinds and learn how we can make some small balls that will be planted spontaneously in the areas of the festival that have arid soil.
Seed pellets save time and effort as they do not require tillage. We use them, especially in natural farming, to be able to repopulate and help preserve the native flora and, of course, in orchards and organic gardens.
Este un atelier dedicat in special celor mici, dar si adultilor care isi doresc sa tina pamantul in palmele lor.
In cadrul atelierului vorbim si atingem solul, insectele mici care sunt in el, apa, seminte de diferite feluri si invatam cum putem sa facem niste mici bilute care vor fi plantate spontan in zonele din festival care au pamantul arid.
Bilutele de semințe sunt folosite pentru a economisi timp și efort întrucât nu necesită prelucrarea solului. Le folosim in special în agricultura naturală, pentru a putea repopula și ajuta la conservarea florei native și, desigur, în livezi și grădini organice.
The first teachings about Yoga were left to us by Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras, somewhere around the 4th century. Now, in 2023, wanting to be a better mother for her daughter, Andreea Fabian brings a yoga workshop to Tineretului Beach. This ancient practice can help you reduce stress at a physical, mental, and emotional level. Moreover, it is an excellent way to live in the present moment - and what can be more beneficial than practicing yoga in the midst of nature, close to the amazing energy of the Danube?
Primele învățături despre Yoga ne-au fost lăsate de Patanjali in Yoga Sutras, undeva în anii 400. Acum, în 2023, dorindu-și să fie o mamă mai bună pentru fiica ei, Andreea Fabian aduce un atelier de yoga pe plaja Tineretului. Aceasta practică străveche te poate ajuta să reduci stresul la nivel fizic, psihic și emoțional. În plus, este o modalitate excelentă de a trăi momentul prezent - și ce poate fi mai benefic decât să practici yoga în mijlocul naturii, aproape de energia uimitoare a Dunării?
The forest near the Borcea Arm, stretching along the Tineretului Beach, is a favorite place for many to recharge their energy. In addition to the fresh air and the energy of the water, we are greeted by the chorus of birds nesting here or returning in the spring, offering us one of the most beautiful natural concerts. At the Danube Festival, we will pay tribute to the birds of the Danube Meadow. Asociația pentru Dezvoltare Durabilă Dunărea de Jos is organizing the workshop "Friends of the Forest and Meadow Birds" on Sunday, June 25, 2023, starting at 1:00 PM, on Tineretului Beach. Children, nature lovers aged 5-15, are welcome to join us. During the workshop, young visual artists will paint cottages for resting and nesting using natural pastels, which will then be placed in trees by volunteers.
Pădurea de lângă Brațul Borcea, întinsă de-a lungul Plajei Tineretului, este un loc preferat de mulți pentru a se încărca cu energie. Pe lângă aerul curat și energia apei, ne întâmpină corul de păsărele ce cuibăresc aici sau se întorc primăvara și ne oferă unul dintre cele mai frumoase concerte în natură. La Festivalul Dunării vom aduce un omagiu păsărilor din Lunca Dunării. Asociația pentru Dezvoltare Durabilă Dunărea de Jos organizează atelierul Prietenii pădurii si ai păsărelelor din luncă duminică, 25 iunie 2023, începând cu ora 13.00, pe Plaja Tineretului. Copiii, iubitori ai naturii cu vârste între 5- 15 ani sunt așteptați alături de noi. În cadrul atelierului, micii artiști plastici vor picta în pasteluri naturale căsuțe pentru popas și cuibărit ce vor fi apoi amplasate în arbori de voluntari.
Have you ever attended a workshop that connects you with nature using all your senses? If not, now is your chance. We embark on a short hike and listen to the sounds of nature. We discover the attributes of beauty in the colors that surround us. We creatively share our new experience. We rediscover the inspiration that lies at the core of nature.
Ai participat vreodată la un atelier de conectare la natură cu toate simțurile? Dacă nu, acum e șansa ta. Ne aventurăm într-o scurtă drumeție și ascultam sunetele din natură. Descoperim atributele frumosului din culorile care ne înconjoară. Împărtășim în mod creativ noua experiență. Redescoperim inspirația care se ascunde în miezul naturii.
When it comes to soap bubbles, your age doesn't matter - the bigger they are, the more spectacular they become. We will bring this childhood activity into the present and reconnect with the joy of playing through a demonstration of giant bubbles. Adults will learn how to make bubbles while children can enjoy small dexterity games around the bubbles.
Când vine vorba de baloane de săpun, nu contează vârsta - cu cât sunt mai voluminoase, cu atât sunt mai spectaculoase. Vom readuce această activitate a copilăriei în prezent, și ne vom reconecta la tot ceea ce înseamnă joaca cu o demonstrație de baloane uriașe. Cei mari vor putea învăța să facă baloane în timp ce copiii încearcă mici jocuri de dexteritate în jurul baloanelor.
A workshop that combines creativity with environmental awareness, in 'Plastic River', we will learn to create plastic fish from bottles that you can collect yourselves. Adults will create these fish on their own, while children can watch and understand the importance of waste selection, especially considering studies that show that by 2050, there may be more plastic in the water than fish. Each fish created by the participants in this workshop is a promise that we will educate ourselves, take responsibility, and get involved in reducing plastic pollution.
Un atelier care îmbină creativitatea cu atenția la mediul înconjurător, în ‘Râul de plastic’ o să învățăm să creăm peștișori din plastic din sticle pe care le puteți aduna/ colecta chiar voi. Adulții vor crea singuri acești peștișori, în timp ce copiii se vor putea uita și vor putea înțelege cât de importantă este selecția gunoiului, mai ales în condițiile în care există studiile ne arată că în 2050 este posibil să avem în apă mai mult plastic decât pești. Fiecare peștișor pe care îl vor crea participanții la acest atelier sunt ca o promisiune că ne vom informa, că ne vom responsabiliza și că ne vom implica în reducerea poluării cu plastic.

Raluca Boișteanu is the the host of the "Public Café" workshop within the Danube Festival.
At one of the tables, we will discuss the needs/problems related to the Danube that they have identified and explore ways to solve them through community mobilization. Each participant will also receive a community mobilization guide. At another table, participants will explore methods of involvement, create a power map, identify the institutions responsible for maintaining a clean Danube in the city, and become familiar with different tools. Since 2019, she has been a project coordinator at the Resource Center for Public Participation (CeRe) Foundation, and she had the privilege of working with civic-minded citizens from communities along the Danube River. She has been accompanying them in the process of community organizing and advocacy, mentoring them to strengthen their groups and interact with local authorities.
Raluca Boișteanu este gazda atelierului ,, Cafeneaua publică,, - din cadrul Festivalului Dunării.
La una din mese se va discuta despre ce nevoi/probleme legate de Dunăre au identificat participanții și care sunt modalitățile prin care le pot rezolva, cum să facă mobilizare comunitară - vor primi fiecare și ghidul de mobilizare comunitară. La cealaltă masă participanții vor căuta modalități de implicare, vor face harta puterii, vor mapa instituțiile din oraș responsabile cu menținerea Dunării curate și se vor familiariza cu diferite instrumente. Din 2019 este coordonatoare de proiecte la Fundația Centrul de Resurse pentru participare publică (CeRe) și a avut privilegiul să lucreze cu cetățeni cu spirit civic din comunități de pe malul Dunării.

O să fie un moment super drăguț pentru micii artiști: vor învăța care sunt cele mai bune căi prin care să aibă grijă de mediul înconjurător, în timp ce își exprimă și creativitatea alături de mentorii workshopului. E deja tradiție printre workshopurile organizate de noi & mereu un succes. Pentru mai multe detalii despre proiectul lor, aruncați un ochi aici: https://www.instagram.com/topictureastory/.
The WildFun project started from the need to reconnect children and adults with nature. They aimed to use their personal knowledge of biology, ecology, geography, and bushcraft to provide a safe and fun space in the natural environment, as an alternative to the city and as a way to raise awareness of the impact of the human species on nature, as well as the exploration of nature's impact on the development of the human mind and body.
As part of the Danube Festival, they will focus on games and activities using the resources of the nearby poplar plantation. We will build boats from branches, sticks, and canvas. Each child will assemble their wooden boat, paint it and add the sail. We will also make fish magnets out of clay.
The participants will receive a magnet and paint it any way they please.
Proiectul WildFun a început din nevoia de a reconecta copiii și adulții cu natura. Și-au propus să folosească cunoștințele personale de biologie, ecologie, geografie și bushcraft pentru a oferi un spațiu sigur și distractiv în mediu natural, ca alternativă la oraș și ca mod de a conștientiza impactul speciei umane asupra naturii, dar și al explorării acesteia asupra dezvoltării minții și corpului uman.
În cadrul Festivalului Dunării se vor concentra pe jocuri și activități folosind resursele plantației de plopi de lângă plajă. Vom construi bărcuțe din crengi, bețe de frigărui și pânză.
Fiecare copil își va asambla barca din lemn, o va picta și va adăuga pânză. De asemenea, vom picta peștișori magnet de frigider din argilă. Participanții primesc un peștișor necolorat și îl pot colora în culorile preferate.
Călărași hides interesting things. Happenings from the past, people who did amazing things, buildings with stories, details no one noticed - all these things will be told by a soon to be local guide. This is another workshop focusing on the city that guards the Danube and îs dedicated to all those interested in the rich history of this city.
Să (ne) cunoaștem Călărașiul: Călărașiul ascunde lucruri interesante. Întâmplări din trecut, oameni care au făcut lucruri nemaipomenite, clădiri cu povești, detalii nebăgate în seamă de trecători - toate aceste vor fi povestite de un ghid local în devenire. Acesta este un alt atelier care are în prim-plan istoria bogată a orașului care păzește Dunărea și este dedicat tuturor celor interesați să descopere mai multe despre istoria acestui oraș.
A workshop with and about creativity as well, one in which participants will exercise their ability to shape things and create an object on a given theme. The object will be created through guidance and will be decorated with each one’s imagination. During the workshop, our minds will keep busy also: those who choose to take part in it will receive information about the materials they are using as well as the history of the city.
Un atelier cu și despre creativitate, în care participanții își vor exersa abilitățile în domeniul modelajului și vor crea un obiect pe o temă dată. Acesta va fi realizat după indicații și va fi decorat cu imaginația fiecăruia participant. În timpul lucrului, vor lucra și mințile noastre: cei care se înscriu vor primi informații despre materialele folosite și despre istoria locului.
The ultimate goal of our entire activity is to change behaviors with ones that are more nature-friendly. And it starts with our daily habits - what, how much, and why we consume are not just isolated things, but an entire footprint we leave on the environment. We will learn more about all these small habits and how we can gradually change things for the better at the ecological education workshop organized by Seneca EcoLogos.
Obiectivul final al întregii noastre activități este schimbarea comportamentelor cu unele mai prietenoase cu natura. Iar asta începe cu obiceiurile noastre zilnice - ce, cât și de ce consumăm nu sunt doar lucruri izolate, ci o întreagă amprentă pe care o lăsăm asupra mediului înconjurător. Despre toate aceste mici obiceiuri și cum putem schimba progresiv lucrurile în mai bine vom afla mai multe la atelierul de educație ecologică organizat de Seneca EcoLogos.
Plastic doesn't die, plastic transforms. Sometimes it breaks down into millions of micro-particles, but in the fortunate cases, it is separately collected and repurposed into unique objects. Happy Tree recycles plastic into raw material used in 3D printers, which is then transformed into objects fit for long-lasting relationships. Objects you can fall in love with. And not just because they are inspired by the same mission of protecting nature, but also because they are extremely cheerful and colorful. Come to @Danube Festival to meet the people behind the Happy Tree project and learn more about reducing consumption, reusing materials, and recycling.
Plasticul nu moare, plasticul se transformă. Uneori se descompune în milioane de microparticule, dar, în cazurile fericite e colectat separat și revalorificat în obiecte unicat. Cei de la Happy Tree reciclează plasticul în materia primă folosită în imprimantele 3D pentru ca mai apoi să o transforme în obiecte cu care să legi o relație de lungă durată. Adică de care să te îndrăgostești. Și nu doar pentru că sunt inspirate de aceeași misiune de a proteja natura, dar și pentru că sunt extrem de vesele și de colorate. Vino la Festivalul Dunării să îi întâlnești pe cei din spatele proiectului Happy Tree pentru a afla mai multe despre REducerea consumului, REutilizarea materialelor și REciclare.
The Association for the Protection of Bees and Wild Pollinators is coming to the Danube Festival to remind us that the world cannot exist without bees. They have prepared a workshop that is like a journey into the magical world of bees, and they have even created a special beehive through which you can safely observe the bees. Together, we learn more about the fascinating world of these small but important creatures.

Balkan Taksim is coming to the Danube Festival, bringing the rhythm, roots, and soul of the Balkans to the stage. Their songs? An excellent blend of contemporary music with voices and sounds from the region. Traditional instruments and Carpathian rhythms give their sound an unmistakable quality.

We say that love will continue from now on, that it will last for years, and that it will begin on Tineretului Beach in Călărași, between June 23rd and 25th.

"Azur is a band formed in Brăila in the 1980s. You have most likely listened to their songs without knowing they were the ones behind them. The band, which reinvented traditional Romanian music with infusions of pop and Balkan rhythms, has created timeless hits for weddings and parties. Some of their popular songs include ""Cenușăreasa"" (Cinderella), ""Regina nopții"" (Queen of the Night), ""Mona (Se mărită Mona)"" (Mona is Getting Married), ""Mai întoarce, Doamne, roata"" (Lord, Please Turn the Wheel Again), and ""Fata de pe plajă"" (The Girl from the Beach).
We will meet them at the Danube Festival, on Tineretului Beach, between June 23rd and 25th. Bring your loved ones along, as they will surely be thrilled to know that the band they used to listen to at '80s and '90s parties is now trending on TikTok."
From Vienna to Călărași: the band Zack Zack Zack, a duo consisting of Yiğit Bakkalbaşi and Cemgil Demirtaş, is coming to the Danube Festival.

Imaginează-ți că ești pe o plajă, că simți briza, că miroase a mare, a sărat și a natură și că în fundal, pe lângă valuri și rumoarea caracteristică verii se aude o mixtură de chitări surf și efecte dub, cu o tentă electronică. Și-acum nu-ți mai imagina nimic, pentru că Chillera, trio din Odesa, Ucraina, vine la Festivalul Dunării cu un peisaj sonor complex, inspirat de natură.
Cântă pop cu influențe balcanice, îmbină ritmurile nouăzeciste cu sunetul manelelor din zonă, ne lasă cu gura căscată și ne face să dansăm de parcă nu ne vede nimeni. Muzica ei hipnotizează, sfidează orice fel de etichetă și dacă e un gen, e sigur genul nostru.
Balkan Taksim vin la Festivalul Dunării și își urcă pe scenă ritmul, rădăcinile și sufletul balcanic. Piesele lor? Un amestec excelent de muzică contemporană cu voci și sonorități din zonă. Instrumentele tradiționale și ritmurile carpatice le transformă soundul într-unul inconfundabil. 'Ținea dragostea tot anu'' ne spun băieții într-un cântec. Noi zicem că o să fie dragoste de-acum înainte, că o să dureze ani și că o să înceapă pe Plaja Tineretului, în Călărași, între 23-25 iunie.
Azur este o formație înființată la Brăila, în anii ‘80.

Câteva: „Cenușăreasa”, „Regina nopții, „Mona (Se mărită Mona)”, „Mai întoarce, Doamne, roata”, „Fata de pe plajă”.
Ne întâlnim cu ei la Festivalul Dunării, pe Plaja Tineretului, între 23-25 iunie. Ia-i cu tine și pe ai tăi, sigur se vor bucura că trupa pe care au ascultat-o la party-uri optzeciste și nouăzeciste este acum trending pe TikTok.
