The only finalist who will perform solo this year is only 12 year old!
Flavius is the kind of drummer that manages to get everybody up and
cheering through his energetic and unpredictable improvisations that
can cover almost every musical genre. Although very young, he has
already had over 50 performances on stages and TV, winning numerous
distinctions. A must see!
Singurul finalist anul acesta care va interpreta solo are doar 12 ani!
Flavius Hosu este genul de percutionist care reuseste sa ridice pe toata lumea in picioare prin

genurile muzicale. Desi atat de tanar, a avut deja peste 50 de aparitii pe scena si la TV, obtinand
numeroase premii. Trebuie vazut!
A young alternative rock band coming out of Bucharest, Magnum
Opus crystalizes in their original compositions, a vast array of
influences from the current alternative scene and the glorious 70s
while adding some funky and epic flavors to the combination.
Magnum Opus este o trupa tanara de rock alternativ din Bucuresti.
Cristalizand o paleta larga de influente in compozitiile proprii, de
la rockul alternativ actual si perioada de glorie a anilor ’70 alaturi de note funky si epice care fac
sunetul trupei usor identificabil.
MAGNUM OPUS (Rock)

WILDER (Rock)
Wilder is a band that certainly lives up to their name! Their fast-paced
style resonates both with the melodic and heavier sides of the best
alternative and hardcore outfits around. Wilder has an original touch
and charisma which are only surpassed by their sheer enthusiasm.
O trupa al care-i nume i se potriveste perfect: Wilder! Abordand un
stil rapid care rezoneaza atat cu partile melodioase, cat si mai dure
ale celor mai tari trupe alternative si hardcore intr-un fel propriu si

VINERI/FRIDAY 14.09
When Adela Ursachi founded the band two years ago she never thought
about following any particular style but rather to find a unique sound.
Since then they have never looked back and tried to do something
different with every song, borrowing bits and pieces from alternative
indie bands, mixing them with jazz and blues.
Cand Adela Ursachi a fondat trupa in urma cu doi ani, nu s-a gandit
sa urmeze vreun stil anume ci doar sa-si formeze o amprenta sonora aparte. De atunci nu s-au mai
uitat in urma si au incercat sa aduca ceva nou si diferit in fiecare piesa, avand ca inspiratie soundul
alternative, la care au adaugat elemente din jazz si blues.
At only 13 years old, Alex Petre, a blues guitar wunderkind, arrives for
the second time at the Imagine Romania national finals. This time
he’s back and better than ever, competing with his newly founded
Gara Band, they are is looking to put on an explosive performance to
take them all all the way.
La varsta de doar 13 ani, Alex Petre, un adevarat copil minune al
bluesului, a fost deja calificat in finala nationala a Imagine Romania. Anul acesta, a
reusit din nou sa se califice, de data asta alaturi de noua sa trupa, Gara Band, alaturi de care promite
un show exploziv si eclectic.
GARA BAND (Blues, Rock)
SHUFFLED EXISTENCE (Alternative Rock)
D’EAGLE (Metal, Progressive)
A passion for music and a love to perform on stage stand at the
foundation of D’Eagle, a band whose musical style is hard to pinpoint
but generally affiliates to alternative, screamo and hardcore metal.
Now that they’ve made it to the national finals, it’s time to show us
what they’ve got!
Pasiunea pentru muzica si fiorul scenei stau la baza infiintarii trupei
D’Eagle, al carui stil este greu de descris dar despre care se poate spune
ca se incadreaza undeva intre alternative, screamo si hardcore metal.
Acum ca s-au calificat in finala nationala vor trebui sa arate despre ce
vorbeau.

VINERI/FRIDAY 14.09
Presently one of the most successful Romanian music exports, this seven piece band is “playing
happiness” as they like to say, through their dancefloor shaking mix of balkan, latin and world music
that has gained them recognition worldwide after they represented Romania at the Eurovision Song
Contest this year.
Probabil unul din cele mai de succes exporturi muzicale
Romanesti ale momentului, un septet care “canta
fericire”, dupa cum ei insisi sustin, prin mixul eclectic si
extrem de dansabil de elemente balkan, latino si world
music cu care s-au facut remarcati in intreaga lume dupa
aparitia la Eurovision de anul acesta.
A project which takes a bits and pieces from the ambient
sound and layered vocals, adds acoustic folk finger
picking techniques and sounds from vintage synths in
order to create an original experimental soundscape
which tells experiences related to life, love and imaginary
characters through simple and honest lyrics.
Un proiect care pune laolalta sunete ambientale alaturi de
parti vocale multistratificate, adaugand tehnici de coarde
ciupite si sunete de sintetizatoare vintage pentru a crea
un camp sonor experimental care relateaza experiente
legate de viata, dragoste si prieteni imaginari prin versuri
simple si sincere.
TWIN (Electro Acoustic Pop)
MANDINGA (Latino, Balkan, Pop)
SAMBATA/SATURDAY 15.09
Pop and jazz, piano and vocals, original compositions with strong, intimate texts filled by rich melodies is what is Viktor all about. It’s no wonder these two beautiful ladies from Antwerp and their seductively powerful music brought them the laurels at this year’s Imagine Belgium national finals. They are now set to leave a strong impression in the international finals!
Pop si jazz, un pian si o voce, compozitii originale cu texte puternice si intime dublate de melodii bogate, cam asta inseamna Viktor. Nu e de mirare ca aceste doua frumoase domnisoare din Anvers si muzica lor seducatoare si in forta le-a adus laurii in finala nationala din acest an al Imagine Belgia. Cu siguranta vor lasa o impresie puternica si la finala internationala!
Although they only exist in their current formation since 2011, with a minimal, mainly acoustic setup, Restart Unplugged have already played more than 40 gigs in Croatia and Slovenia alone. They electrify crowds everywhere they roam with their pop-rock compositions and original versions of all-time hits. Unplug, restart and sing-a-long with a charismatic vocalist and three talented instrumentalists.
Chiar daca nu exista in aceasta formula decat din 2011 si au un setup minimal si aproape exclusiv acustic, Restart Unplugged au deja la activ mai mult de 40 de concerte doar in Croatia si Slovenia. Oriunde ar merge, electrizeaza publicul atat prin intermediul pieselor proprii, cat si prin intepretari proprii ale hiturilor pop-rock de ieri si azi. Scoateti din priza, restart si cantati alaturi de o voce carismatica si trei instrumentisti talentati.
RESTART UNPLUGGED (Acoustic)
VIKTOR (Pop, Jazz)
FINALA INTERNATIONALA IMAGINE/THE IMAGINE INTERNATIONAL FINAL
What do you get when you add to contemporary indie rock some 60’s psychedelic madness? Well, John Doe of course! The band was born on a hot summer night in 2010 and since then have taken things so seriously that they were a clear favorite at this year’s Imagine France. Get ready to rock with one of the coolest up and coming French bands!
Ce se obtine cand pui la un loc cu rockul indie contemporan putina nebunie psihedelica din anii ‘60? Ei bine, John Doe, bineinteles! Trupa a luat fiinta intr-o seara torida din vara lui 2010 si de atunci au luat lucrurile foarte serios, atat de serios incat au fost printre favoriti anul acesta la Imagine France. Pregatiti-va de rock!
JOHN DOE (Indie Psichedelic)

SAMBATA/SATURDAY 15.09
Inspired by the legendary Dire Straits album of the same name, the Norwegian rock and roll outfit has already opened for big names back home, shaking crowds with their straight riffs and infectious grooves. Now they’re ready to bring the same energy and enthusiasm to the international finals of the Imagine Festival.
Inspirati de legendarul album cu nume omonim al celor de la Dire Straits, grupul norvegian de rock and roll deja a cantat in deschiderea unor nume mari in tara lor de bastina, zguduind multimile cu riffurile lor drepte si ritmurile infectiooase. Baietii sunt gata sa aduca
aceeasi energie si entuziasm la finala internationala Imagine!
BROTHERS IN ARMS (Rock’n’roll)
20 years old, Gustaf from Sweden definitely doesn’t lack versatility nor talent. He’s currently involved in a string of musical projects ranging from heavy metal to Jewish Klezmer to jazz and more recently funk and acoustic music. He conquered both the jury and the public at this year’s Imagine Sweden (Musik Direkt) with only a guitar and his voice!
La numai 20 de ani, Gustaf pare sa nu duca lipsa nici de talent, dar nici de versatilitate, dovada facand multimea de proiecte muzicale in care este implicat: de la heavy metal si muzica klezmer pana la jazz si cel mai recent funk si muzica acustica. A cucerit si juriul si publicul anul acesta la Imagine Sweden (Musik Direkt) doar cu o chitara si vocea sa!
GUSTAV MODIN (Acoustic)
FINALA INTERNATIONALA IMAGINE/THE IMAGINE INTERNATIONAL FINAL
Progressive and modern hard rock with an experimental mysterious twist that sends chills down the spine is what you’ll get from Arctica. Unusual time signatures, inspiration from classical music and a knack for arrangements and lyrics is all part of their charm and charisma. Arctica still manage to keep it warm with rich melodies that have now brought them victory at Imagine Slovenia.
Rock hard, modern, progresiv cu elemente misterioase care dau fiori, pe scurt Arctica. Pe acelasi continent muzical veti intalni de asemenea masuri neobisnuite, inspiratie din muzica clasica si o mare atentie acordata aranjamentelor si versurilor. Cu toate astea, prin melodiile lor, Arctica reusesc sa creeze o atmosfera calda, fapt care le-a adus victoria la Imagine Slovenia.
