    If "the finale crowns the opera", then there is no concert more suitable to close the Creative Industries Festival than the combination of Cuibul & Zdob and Zdub.

    On June 2, we light up the stage and the Artcor courtyard to the songs of the two legendary bands:

    Cuibul - the longest-lived band in Moldova, with artistic activity for over 33 years and a rock'n'roll funk fusion musical style.

    The band Zdob și Zdub is the most popular ethno-rock band from the Republic of Moldova, which combines hardcore and Balkan folklore in a unique way.
