She had the same success the following year at the same famous contest. This way the achievements of little Andreea had already prepared her for what was about to happen โ the start of a succesful music career. But music never kept her away from her studies. She was aware that without proper training she would never be able to succeed in having a career in music. She took piano lessons for 2 years and singing classes for 4 years.
Andreea Banica always wanted to achieve more so she went on to take part in countless music festivals, but the public really embraced her in 1998, when she took the stage at the Mamaia Festival.
It was there that life changed for Andreea, as she entered show business. She was then part of the first Romanian girl band, Exotic, along Claudia Patrascanu and Iulia Chelaru. Exoticโs first single, โSexyโ, was a huge success. The band released 4 singles (โUita-maโ, โSexyโ, โVreau un sarutโ and โUn sarutโ) from 2 albums, โSexxyโ and โPasionalโ. The Exotic girls were together for 2 years before splitting up.
In 2000, Andreea Banica made a good team with Cristina Rus and the two of them started a new band, Blondy. During the next 4 years, the girls released 3 albums (โAtat de aproapeโ ,โO parte din tineโ,โDulce si amarโ). Other achivements of the band: 6 music videos and the award for BEST DANCE BAND at the Radio Romania Actualitati Awards in 2003.
In 2004 , Cristina Rus left the band and Andreea Banica pursued her solo career.
Her first single, โDansez , Dansezโ, co-written with with Laurentiu Duta, was a success. The eponimous album won the Golden Disc award from Cat Music.
From the same first album, 2 more singles were released: โIndragostitiโ and โDulce si amarโ.

The lyrics to Andreea Banica's song "Samba" seem to speak about the joy and love that can be found in the lively, infectious dance of the same name. The opening lines sung by Andreea herself speak of feeling lost and letting her love turn to dust, perhaps suggesting a sense of sadness or uncertainty before the music and movement of the samba bring her to life. This idea is reinforced by lines such as "All around the world is playing the samba" and "Finally I have found a girl who makes me rumble" which speak to the universal appeal and power of the dance.
As the song progresses, Andreea and collaborator Dony repeat a chorus that praises the power of the samba and the dancer who animates it with their energy and heat. The repeated line "Anima no me-namor" translates from Spanish as "I'm not in love, it's just the energy" which further emphasizes the idea that the samba can provide a source of vitality and enthusiasm without necessarily being romantic. The lyrics end with further affirmations of the joy of the samba and a repetition of the chorus.
