Noroc is a music group from Moldova, created in 1967 by Mihai Dolgan.
History
"Noroc" became very popular in the USSR after the release of their first album in 1968 which included the following songs:
- "De ce plâng chitarele" (music: Mihai Dolgan; lyrics: Efim Crimerman)
- "Cântă un artist" (music: Mihai Dolgan; lyrics: Efim Crimerman)
In 1970, "Noroc" won the "public sympathy" prize at the "Bratislava Lyra" festival
. Later the same year, after a tour of Ukraine, "Noroc" was banned as a result of a direct order by Ivan Bodiul, Chief Secretary of the Communist Party of the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic, due to "lack of discipline", "promotion of artistic values of poor quality", and "lack of healthy ideological orientation".
