Art Ensemble of the Ministry of Defence of the Republic of Serbia “Stanislav Binički“ and one of the most well-known Slovenian performers Robert Pešut –Manjifiko, held a concert in the full Gallus Hall of Ivan Cankar Memorial House in Ljubljana. Tonight they will together have a performance in the capital as well, in the largest Slovenian hall, and two days later in Murska Sobota, the town in the north-east of the country. Both concerts have been sold out. A yesterday`s concert was attended also by the Premier of Slovenia Alenka Bratušek while the concert was broadcast live on the Slovenian POP TV.
The concert repertoire was the music from the film “Montevideo, Bog te video“, one of the most watched films of the Serbian film industry in the last 20 years, the music being written by the Slovenian composer and recorded with our ensemble.
The art ensemble performed under the baton of the conductor Major Igor Mitrović, with the band that normally backups Manjifiko. A special guest was vocal singer Luz Kasal, a Spanish diva and star of the film “High Heels“ of Pedro Almodovar, who together with Manjifiko and Ensemble recorded the songs for the second part of the film “Montevideo, Bog te video“.At the concert, Manjifiko presented his new album released on 15th October, which contains the film songs as well. With more than 20 compositions such as “Samo malo“, “Ubiću te“, “Pukni zoro“, “Zum zum kolo“, “Pinja kolada“, “Srpska kolada“, “Srpska posla“, “Silvija“ and “Halo gospodična“ the audience applauded without rest and enjoyed throughout the entire concert.
This is the second time that the Ensemble “Binički“ and Manjifiko play the music from the film in front of Slovenian audience. Last year, they had a performance on the main stage of the Lent Summer festival in Maribor.
