HORA presented Nelu Lazar in his tour: Din vremuri de departe, din vremuri de demult. Born in Romania, Nelu Lazar (aka Jiby) had spent his childhood throughout Transylvania, as well as hiking the trails and peaks of Ceahlau Mountains ever since he was a toddler. Later on, he discovered Brasov. The city of Brasov was, and still is, an everlasting art muse. Nelu embraced music and songwriting and, over the years, he co-founded a few rock and folk music bands, such as Mirror’97 and Taine Folk. Other great memories from Brasov are still deep in Nelu’s heart and soul – mountaineering and cultural activities with friends who love and protect our planet and environment, eternal friendship with college pals, motorcycle rides and events, and the beginning of long exciting professional opportunities. Today, Nelu lives in the United States and spends his free time recording music, writing, playing drums and vocals for The Rèmmotes, and exploring a few sorts of artistic recreational activities.
Nelu Lazar is the author of “The Seasons’ Journey: A Serendipitous Rock Opera“.
Nelu writes songs in both English and Romanian languages, and his songs sound like one or more of the following genres: folk, galactic folk, alternative folk, atmos folk, folk-rock, rock, indie rock, progressive rock, alternative, grunge & post-grunge, instrumental, orchestral, cinematic/epic, rock opera.
