The Siberian wave that hit our country prevented many musicians from doing their work. Sergej Ćetković, Perper, Akademia and Miško Tamindžić are among those whose performances have been postponed in recent days.
First, Ćetković's gathering with fans in Podgorica's Delta City, where he was supposed to sign his DVD release, whose proceeds go to humanitarian purposes, was postponed. As he revealed to us, he regularly follows what is happening in Montenegro regarding the state of emergency.
I remember the snow as a child and the joy of the first snowflakes, but never for this long and with this outcome.
"Aware of the fact that we cannot change the world, even if we try to draw attention to those who need help. Be humane, buy a new DVD and give your big contribution to our humanitarian action," said Ćetković.
They clear snow all day
The members of the group Perper did not fare better than the Montenegrin pop star, who postponed their concert planned for Valentine's Day at the "Budo Tomović" KIC to February 24. In their Cetinje, the snow was 139 centimeters high, and the Perperovci did not answer our phone, but we got a response from them a few days later by email.
"The whole day we fight with the snow around the house, so we don't receive video emails, but mostly after that work we try to rest, which is quite difficult, so we don't feel like doing any other work. Otherwise, our instruments are trapped by ice and snow, and everyone knows that the Podgorica-Cetinje road is closed and vehicles are allowed through exceptionally only until 19 p.m.," commented Nikola Radunović.
"There was supposed to be a gig this Sunday: Monday 13.2. Cheers/Podgorica... but it was canceled due to "'extraordinary shit'". Božo Gagović from the Akademia group wrote on his Facebook profile.
"The state of emergency disturbed us a little, but since we have been working more than well for the last seven months, it will not be dramatically felt. Here, we went to Tirana for a gig completely normally, and the night before we could not go to Podgorica. It is a bit unusual... Or, on Saturday, we played in Budva's "Garden" decimated, because neither Adrijan, nor Miraš, nor Davor could come because of the snow, but with the help of the young Kotor bassist Branko Marković, we made it an unforgettable night," Gagović said, adding: " the state of emergency has a severe effect on those who work little, not on us".
When I was younger, I loved snow, but after this situation that happened to us, I can't see it anymore.
"When I was younger, I loved the snow, but after this situation that befell us, I can't see it anymore. I can't leave the house for days, let alone go to Budva and Podgorica and hold the scheduled concerts. I used to look forward when it snows, and now I want it to never fall again, because in the last few days it has prevented me from doing what I love most - singing. We've already had several gigs canceled in the last ten days and I'm starting to feel down. Definitely this Siberian "The wave caught the unprepared and showed that we don't do very well in these situations. That's why there's no more talking, but shovels in hands and cleans up," says Vučetić.
