Dorin Liviu ''Chubby'' Zaharia (September 25, 1944 – December 3, 1987) was a Romanian musician, composer, poet, essayist, and philosopher. A "completely unclassifiable", "nearly mythical figure", Zaharia was an autodidact in all he undertook (he studied for about two years at the University of Bucharest's Faculty of Letters, and another two at the Faculty of Philosophy, without completing any of them). Nicknamed "Chubby" (sometimes spelled as ''Ciabi'') by his peers in the Popa Nan neighborhood because of his propensity to imitate Chubby Checker, Zaharia was the lead singer of Olympic '64, arguably one of the first Romanian bands interested in mixing Romanian folklore music with the popular music of the 1960s.〔 Together with the other band members he composed the rock suites ''Decameronul focului alb'' ("The White Fire's Decameron", 1969) and ''Karma Kaliyuga'' (1971), but both are now considered lost, as no recordings have survived. Zaharia was interested in Indian philosophy and mysticism, and he became the spiritual leader, the "shaman", of a group of friends, the so-called ''Group of Seven'' (consisting of Ioan Petru Culianu, Dorin Liviu Zaharia, Şerban Anghelescu, Dumitru Radu Popa, Victor Ivanovici, Silviu Angelescu şi Paul Drogeanu).〔 Zaharia was used as a model by Ioan Petru Culianu in two short stories, ''Oglinda ovală'' ("The Oval Mirror",1970) and ''Istoria III'' ("History III, 1971).〔 ==Family== Zaharia was married to Magdalena Hofmann-Soare, an artist, with whom he had a daughter, Maria. He is buried in Berca.〔 Andrei Oisteanu mentions his wife as "Magda Zaharia". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dorin Liviu Zaharia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
