Now he has solo projects and also plays with Pasărea Rock. His 2007 album Iskender, a collaboration with Stelu Enache and Gheorghe Zamfir, featured reinterpretations of traditional Macedonian songs.^[2] The arrangements feature Greek, Roma, Slavic, and Celtic touches, among others, in such a manner designed to reflect Romania's multiculturalism.
