Taxi is a Romanian pop-rock band. Their sound is an eclectic mix of rock and contemporary pop, occasionally introducing other influences such as hot Nashville-style guitar licks.

The band was founded March 13, 1999 in Bucharest, Romania. Dan Teodorescu (songwriter, lead vocalist and the band's leader), first recruited Adrian Bortun, with whom he had previously played in another band. Bortun recruited his former band mate Andrei Bărbulescu and Dan recruited Georgica Patranoiu with whom he had also played before.

Their first Romanian hit was "Criogenia salveaza Romania" (Cryogenia saves Romania), which gained them fans even among the members of the Romanian Parliament with its ironic political lyrics.

Shortly after their song "Luna" ("The Moon") became the Romanian nominee to the 2000 Eurovision Song Contest, they came in a higher rank than any other Romanian band.

Taxi welcomed the millennium with a song "Doi zero zero zero" ("Two zero zero zero"). “Jumătate de album” was expanded in July 2000 to a full album ”Rag un claxon” (Honk a Horn). A succession of Romanian hits included "Comunitaru" ("Stray Dog"), which addresses Bucharest's plan of spaying and euthanizing ownerless dogs from the point of view of one of the dogs.

“Jumatate de album” (1999), “Americanofonia” (2001), “C” (2003), “politica” (2004) and “Romantica” (2007) are the band recorded albums.
