OvidiuLipan Tandarica este unul dintre cei mai importanti percutionisti romani.
Cunoscut pentru activitatea sa in grupul Phoenix, atat in tara, cat si peste hotare, Tandarica a parasit Romania, alaturi de ceilalti membri ai formatiei rock (mai putin Mircea Baniciu) la sfarsitul anilor ’70, pentru a ajunge, in cele din urma, in Germania.
Despre acest disc, OvidiuLipan Tandarica spune ca se doreste a fi o celebrare a celor 35 de ani de activitate muzicala care au trecut de la debutul sau in lumea artistica.
Phoenix was born again the same year, with Covaci, Josef Kappl, Mircea Baniciu, Günther Reininger, Costin Petrescu (replaced in 1974 by OvidiuLipan, nicknamed "Ţăndărică") and Valeriu Sepi.
After two grandiose concerts in Constanţa and Tulcea, Covaci surprisingly left the country again, this time with all the band members (except Baniciu) hidden inside their Marshall speakers - a huge undertaking, since in Communist Romania it was extremely difficult to obtain approval to travel abroad, and illegal border crossing carried the death penalty.
In 1981, Covaci co-opted Neumann and Lipan and English bassist Tom Buggie, who had an amazing technical playing ability, under the name Transsylvania Phoenix (since a band named Phoenix already existed) and released an LP named Transsylvania, containing mostly old Phoenix songs translated into English to target the Western audience.
