=== Popular culture === Romanian has become popular in other countries through movies and songs performed in the Romanian language. Examples of Romanian acts that had a great success in non-Romanophone countries are the bands [[O-Zone]] (with their No. 1 single [[Dragostea Din Tei]], also known as ''[[Numa Numa (video)|Numa Numa]],'' across the world in 2003–2004), [[Akcent]] (popular in the Netherlands, Poland and other European countries), [[Activ (band)|Activ]] (successful in some Eastern European countries), [[DJ Project]] (popular as clubbing music) [[SunStroke Project]] (known by viral video "[[Run Away (SunStroke Project and Olia Tira song)|Epic Sax Guy]]") and [[Alexandra Stan]] (worldwide no.1 hit with "[[Mr. Saxobeat]]") and [[Inna (singer)|Inna]] as well as high-rated movies like ''[[4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days]]'', ''[[The Death of Mr. Lazarescu]]'', ''[[12:08 East of Bucharest]]'' or ''[[California Dreamin' (film)|California Dreamin']]'' (all of them with awards at the [[Cannes Film Festival]]). Also some artists wrote songs dedicated to the Romanian language. The multi-platinum pop trio [[O-Zone]] (originally from Moldova) released a song called {{lang|ro|italic=no|"Nu mă las de limba noastră"}} ("I won't forsake our language"). The final verse of this song, {{lang|ro|italic=no|"Eu nu mă las de limba noastră, de limba noastră cea română"}}, is translated in English as "I won't forsake our language, our Romanian language". Also, the Moldovan musicians [[Doina and Ion Aldea Teodorovici]] performed a song called "The Romanian language".
