They  also represented Moldova in the Eurovision Song Contest 2011 in Düsseldorf, Germany, on 14 May 2011 finishing 12th. “Zdob și Zdub” (“Hit the Drum”) musical band was put together in 1994 in Moldova. Before that, the singer Roman Iagupov, the bass-player Mihai Gincu and the drummer Anatol Pugach had together attended a school in a small town from the suburbs of Chisinau, called Straseni. They found the missing musicians during their studies at the Sports College in Chisinau. The line-up of the band was constantly changing: sometimes the band had two singers, sometimes – two guitarists. As a result, one guitarist became a singer, the clarinettist – a drummer, and the drummer – a bass-player.
