With their latest release, &#8216;Ghosts At War&#8217;, the band is set to make waves around the world.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Comprising Tudor Chirila, Eugen Caminschi, Gelu Ionescu, Lucian Cioarga and\u00a0Dan Opris, the band from Bucharest have a style that is as much at home in stadiums as in a private party, and remind us of artists such Coldplay, The Killers, and Kings Of Leon. &#8216;Ghosts At\u00a0War&#8217; is accompanied by a moving music video, featuring a couple at war &#8211; they&#8217;ve lost touch with each other and need to address the tension that&#8217;s hanging heavily in the house. Great symbolism including the smashing of an iPad, photos of the couple, a prized watch, model car, and the destruction\u00a0of a string of pearls in a blender &#8211; things which have taken precedence in their lives over each other. They confront each other but in stillness and silence are unable to go all the way.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the end &#8211; the pair realise that which matters most to them is each other, and the relationship is restored.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In addition to his work with\u00a0Vama, lead singer and songwriter Tudor Chirilia is one of the top young cultural leaders in Romania. He&#8217;s also an actor and an events producer &#8211; and travels tirelessly around the country, connecting with young people, fostering a culture of mentorship for high school students.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You can find out more about Vama online on their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vamamusic.ro\" target=\"_blank\">official website<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/VamaVama\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pg\/VamaMusic\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\">\n<div  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_17044\"  width=\"640\" height=\"360\"  data-origwidth=\"640\" data-origheight=\"360\"  data-relstop=\"1\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rQTQfUDdsq0?enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/essentiallypop.com&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=1&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;color=red&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__ epyt-facade epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" data-epautoplay=\"1\" ><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-spai-excluded=\"true\" class=\"epyt-facade-poster skip-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"Vama - Ghosts at War | Official Music Video\"  src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/rQTQfUDdsq0\/maxresdefault.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\"  \/><button class=\"epyt-facade-play\" aria-label=\"Play\"><svg data-no-lazy=\"1\" height=\"100%\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 68 48\" width=\"100%\"><path class=\"ytp-large-play-button-bg\" d=\"M66.52,7.74c-0.78-2.93-2.49-5.41-5.42-6.19C55.79,.13,34,0,34,0S12.21,.13,6.9,1.55 C3.97,2.33,2.27,4.81,1.48,7.74C0.06,13.05,0,24,0,24s0.06,10.95,1.48,16.26c0.78,2.93,2.49,5.41,5.42,6.19 C12.21,47.87,34,48,34,48s21.79-0.13,27.1-1.55c2.93-0.78,4.64-3.26,5.42-6.19C67.94,34.95,68,24,68,24S67.94,13.05,66.52,7.74z\" fill=\"#f00\"><\/path><path d=\"M 45,24 27,14 27,34\" fill=\"#fff\"><\/path><\/svg><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Romanian quintet Vama are known for their incredible live shows and fabulous songwriting, and have been a mainstay on the music scene in their home country.
