Though she’s a seasoned drummer (Dum Dum Girls, The Raveonettes, Boredoms, Dirty Beaches), she’s stepped out from behind the kit to center stage for SISU, opening on tour dates for Cat Power, Marnie Stern, DIIV, and Metronomy.

Raku

Prima lui caseta audio a fost albumul Dangerous al lui Michael Jackson, primit cadou. Nu a ascultat dintotdeauna exclusiv hip-hop, copil fiind era fascinat de sunetul tambalului si acordeonului, din muzica bulgareasca si sarbeasca, si din bucatile lautaresti vechi. Inainte de revolutie asculta cu placere muzica genericelor de la TVR de genul celui ce. Dupa 1989 asculta din diverse genuri formatii ca: Tehnotronic, Snap, Kriss Kross, Doctor Alban, Inner Circle, 2un Limitted, Boys II Men, Ace of Base, Metallica, Enigma, Queen, UB40 etc.

Maria Raducanu

Maria RADUCANU was born on the 3rd of November 1967, in Husi, Vaslui County, Romania.
She doesn't like cv-s and they don't like her either. Given the general confusion of ethical and cultural values of the contemporary world, she thinks it as being a measure of minimal protection (of the fragile step into Art) the rather skeptical attitude regarding labellings, "recommendations", "prize awarding festivals".
