On March 28, Ionutz brings his sharp rural rock and band to The Pub Universității. The lineup features Nicu Georoiu on drums, Cătălin Răsvan on bass, Radu Teodorescu on keyboards, Cassandra Vasiliu on violin, and Elida on backing vocals. Tickets are available on ambilet.ro, priced at 40 lei in presale and 50 lei for general admission.
"People walk around hunched over, even though their problems aren't that big. We love to complain—it's our national sport," says Ionutz. People seem weighed down by a fatalism passed down through generations. Victimhood has become a survival mechanism, a way to justify stagnation. Ionutz's music is an answer to this: a cocktail of satire, rock, and folklore—a wake-up call with sharp riffs and ironic lyrics, best enjoyed with country wine or pălincă.
From Urare, a sarcastic anti-carol, to Nuntă, which mocks traditional wedding rituals that are more about transactions and dowries than love, each song is a mirror to reality. But not one that softens the truth—it reflects things exactly as they are, with no filters or sugarcoating.
He doesn’t shy away from calling things as he sees them. On declining culture, fading traditions, and the new generation, Ionutz speaks bluntly: "Intelligence level close to zero, woke culture has castrated us, and no one dares to say what they think anymore..." He also has something to say about religion: "The Ten Commandments? Just basic common-sense rules, but the church had to meddle."
On March 28, The Pub invites you to an evening where Romanian folk rock takes on a protest edge, and every lyric reflects the world we live in. Alongside new songs, you’ll also hear the ones you’ve already fallen in love with from Ionutz: Blues de la țară, Deochi, Cântec Descântec, and Paparude.
