Paraziții

[1] It consists of Cheloo (Cătălin Ștefan Ion), Ombladon (Bogdan Ionuț Păstacă), and FreakaDaDisk (Petre Urda).

In 2003 they established their own label, "20CM Records", providing launch pads for Romanian hip hop artists Spike and Guess Who.

Their first recorded track, "În jur" ("Around" – a pun on Înjur – I curse), dated 13 September 1994, represented Paraziții's breakthrough.

Paraziții first performed out of Romania in 2000 by participating at the "Summer Hits" festival in Chișinău, along with the groups BUG Mafia and Zdob și Zdub.

Paraziții were part of the campaigns "Playback" / "Shoot Yourself" (2001), in which they took a position against lip synching, and "Instigare la cultură" (Instigation To Culture) (2004) against ignorance among Romania's youth.
