Dan Bittman, the lead singer of Holograf

Holograf is a pop rock band from Bucharest, Romania. Since the band's formation in 1978, Holograf released 18 albums.[1] The band won the Excellence Prize at Romanian Media Music Awards in 2013,[2][3] the awards for best pop-rock artist and best pop-rock song at Radio Romania Music Awards Gala in 2014[4] and was nominated multiple times at Romanian Music Awards for Best Group and for Best Song.

History

It was founded in 1978[5] by Mihai Pocorschi (guitar, voice),[1] Eugen Sonia (bass guitar), Cristian Lesciuc (solo guitar) and Boris Petroff (drums).[6] In 1979 Edi Petroșel (drums) and Tino Furtună (keyboards) joined and are still part of the band.[6] The band received awards at Club A Festival and at other festivals, which helped the band getting signed with Electrecord, the biggest Romanian label at that time, and released Holograf 1 in 1983.[7] In 1988 Holograf released Holograf III, which was sold over 200,000 copies.[6] Holograf continued making music through the 1980s and 1990s, when it toured abroad in countries such as Bulgaria, USSR, East Germany, Poland, North Korea, and the Netherlands.[6][8] In April 1990 Holograf performed at the Printemps de Bourges Festival.[6][7] It released a few new works into the new millennium, including the album Pur si simplu (2003). Since 1985, the lead singer of the band is Dan Bittman.[9]

The band is known for hits including "Banii vorbesc", "Dincolo de nori" (which Dan Bittman also sang at Eurovision Song Contest 1994),[10] "Ți-am dat un inel", "Undeva departe", "Să nu-mi iei niciodată dragostea", "Viața are gust" and "Cât de departe".[11] In November 2000, Holograf launched Holografica, which sold over 100,000 copies in the first two weeks of release.[6][12][13] In 2003 the band launched Pur și simplu, an album which sold over 250.000 copies,[6][12][13] and received gold and platinum certification.[14] In order to promote Pur și simplu, Holograf started toured in Romania for 50 days.[6] On October 10, 2006, Holograf released a new album called Taina. The disc contained 10 new songs,[15] and the first single to be promoted from the album was "Ești atât de frumoasă" ("You are so beautiful"). On July 10, 2009, Holograf received a Gold certification from UPFR for record sales of the Primăvara începe cu tine album.[6][16] Holograf performed at five editions of the Golden Stag Festival, in 1993, 1997, 2001, 2005 and 2009,[17] and multiple times at the Mamaia Festival since 1987[18] and Callatis Festival.[19]

The Holograf song "Cât de departe" (Template:Langx), was broadcast most often on Romanian radio stations, between 2010 and 2015.[20]

Their bassist, Iulian "Mugurel" Vrabete, died from cancer on 12 March 2026, at the age of 70.[21]
