Transsylvania Phoenix (also known as Phoenix in Romania) is a legendary Romanian rock band formed in 1962 in Timişoara. It is estimated that they have sold more than 2 million albums.
The group became famous in Romania in the 1970s, when it began to merge its 1960s rock and roll with traditional folk music, opening the way to the sub-genre “ethno rock”.
After gaining immense popularity in Romania during the so-called British invasion of the mid-1960s, Phoenix was banned in 1970 by the Romanian Communist Party to interpret and record.
The group would become even better known in 1977 after their illegal flight to West Germany, exposing themselves to risks such as their arrest by the Securitate de Ceauşescu.
Phoenix represents for many Romanians “The spirit of freedom” and after 57 years, Phoenix always fascinates us! Their concerts attract thousands of fans of all ages, from ages 5 to 75, and PHOENIX remains a symbol of South-East European Rock music.
After 15 years, Phoenix is back in Montreal with the PHOENIX FOREVER concert!
