Ovidiu Lipan

Ovidiu Lipan

Ovidiu Lipan 'Ţăndărică' (born January 30,[1] 1953, in Iaşi) is a Romanian drummer.

He played between 1966 and 1975 with the Romanian rock band Roşu şi Negru. In 1975 he joined Transsylvania Phoenix. In 1977 he settled in Germany, but after 1990 he moved back to Romania. Now he has solo projects and also plays with Phoenix. His 2007 album Iskender, a collaboration with Stelu Enache and Gheorghe Zamfir, featured reinterpretations of traditional Macedonian songs.[2] The arrangements feature Greek, Roma, Slavic, and Celtic touches, among others, in a manner designed to reflect Romania's multiculturalism.[2]

Lipan has a son, a musician who lives in Germany.[1]
