ROMANIAN ROCK BAND FROM CHICAGO

NEW ALBUM "PÂINE ȘI SARE"

(BREAD AND SALT)

New album!

Listen to a Transylvanian Rock sound born on the streets of Chicago! Experience a different musical perspective about life through the eyes of a faraway mysterious land overlooking Carpathian Mountains of Romania, where legend, mystery and reality are often found to be part of a daily routine.

The complexity of this cultural conversation was enriched by the band members’ immigrant experience to U.S.A.! The need for self-expression during the twists and turns of the process of assimilation gave rise to Vox Maris Band and their first album, “Calatori Prin Vise ( Travelers Through Dreams)”, released in November 2015. Their music has been enthusiastically received by Romanian-Americans across the US, attracting a new base of fans that discovered their inner voice within the album’s lyrics and music. The growing popularity enabled Vox Maris to tour all around the United States, receiving invitations from Chicago, Portland, Houston, New York, St Louis, and LA- sharing the melodies about freedom and dreams with all.

Four years after their first release, a new set of questions that have set in that require a new set of musical answers to be unleashed. The band’s second album, called “Paine si Sare ( Bread and Salt)”, touches on several subjects related to the shared experience in between seemingly different worlds. Bread and salt are viewed as a symbol of welcoming into one’s home, a joyful sharing of those elements essential to life. At the same time, these items bring forth an awareness that simplicity and core values are the fundamentals of true fulfillment. Ancient wisdom passed along through generations is used as guidance to navigate through the challenges of the modern world. Love, family, awareness of reality, and tradition are some of the subjects touched upon by the songs on the new album, employing a diverse sound that resembles their own version of “ Transylvanian Rock”.

Following the continuously evolving story of the “American Dream”, the album “ Paine si Sare” is intended to enrich the American experience with a mature set of questions and observations related to the daily pursuit of happiness.

 

The questions and answers found in these songs have been informed by struggles throughout history that have overcome. There is a subtle sense of positivity in the old saying: “The more things change, the more they stay the same!”. Music is a common thread throughout all of this, the only constant that can be understood regardless of language or ethnicity. Vox Maris Band “rocks on” to continue sharing this story.

 

BAND HISTORY

Vox Maris, a Romanian immigrants band, came into existence in Chicago in 2011, as a need for self-expression during the integration process in the American life . The band was welcomed with open arms by Romanian communities in the American diaspora, being invited to participate in multiple events organized in areas where Romanians have settled in. A musical style called “Transylvanian Rock” has emerged as a natural progression to the fusion between Romanian traditions and the constantly evolving modern American music scene. The band members have a diversity of musical backgrounds, ranging from well-known Romanian bands to classic Anglo Saxon rock all the way to more modern, up to date tunes. In 2015, Vox Maris Band released their first album entitled "Travelers through dreams" (“ Calatori Prin Vise”), reflecting the inner experiences of the Romanian emigrant in the New World. Currently, the band is in the process of releasing a new album called “ Bread and Salt” ( “Paine si Sare”) and is planning  a series of live concerts in several major cities in the US.
