The most famous Moldavian, who lives in Russia, Eugen Doga was born March 1, 1937 in the Moldovan village Wet, on the left bank of the Dniester.

The very name Doga - is Latin for one species of oaks.
In early childhood, Eugene came to the concert orchestra of folk music and symphonic band Taraf from Chisinau. The latter was very large and does not fit on the stage completely. Therefore, contrabass sat right on the street, and a neighborhood kids touch them outlandish great "violin".
