Pasărea Rock (English: "The Rock Bird") is a Romanian rock supergroup formed in February 2014, in Bucharest, Romania by three former members of the legendary band Transsylvania Phoenix: Mircea Baniciu (lead vocals), Josef Kappl (bass), and Ovidiu Lipan (drums). The first line-up included another Transsylvania Phoenix member — Cristi Gram on lead guitar — along with Vlady Cnejevici on keyboards and Teo Boar on guitar. Later, they were replaced by Sorin Voinea (keyboards) and Nicu Patoi (lead guitar).[1]

The band's sound is a fusion between modern rock and traditional folk music, along with symphonic elements.[2] Most of the new songs are composed by Josef Kappl; the lyrics are written mainly by Florin Dumitrescu. The setlist of Pasărea Rock also includes a few songs borrowed from Transsylvania Phoenix repertory and from Mircea Baniciu's solo career. In September 2016, Pasărea Rock released its first full-length album: Legenda (The Legend).[3] In December 2020, founding member Mircea Baniciu is replaced by Codruț Croitoru.
