The day before the performance, I happen to discover that Almira Medunjanin will carry out as part of the Arsana celebration in Ptuj. I anticipated a busy day the next day and it was likewise a day of unfortunate anniversary, perfect for sevdah. I paid EUR22 for a ticket with some NLB discount. The next day after work, I ate something in your home, made a couple of calls and left home around 6pm just in case something happens on the roadway, in between I filled on fuel at a gas station. I found parking, which was totally free in the afternoon. I had adequate time for a short walk around the city before I headed to the Minorite Monastery. The atrium was complete, there was complimentary seating, Radenska was 2.5 EUR.
Soon after 8:30 PM, Amira Medunjanin (vocals), Mario Rašić (bass), Zoran Majstorović (guitar), Leopold Stašić (violin) took the phase. Amira was easy in her performance and appearance, however still elegant, the instrumental part of the quartet took time for their solos. She communicated with the audience in an unwinded way and the audience returns the favor, a couple came under the phase to dance, her good friend Irena joined her on phase, … She performed a number of songs from the new album Homeland, Alma sticks out in my memory. Obviously, there were also classics such as Žute dunje/Voljelo se dvoje mladih, in addition to tunes from other nations, such as Vranjanka or a cover of the rock tune Ako znaš bilo što (Azra). Her singing capabilities were best shown in the song Što te nema.
Regardless of the standing ovation, they just bow for an encore, with no extra tunes. It was probably necessary to end since of the organizer. After two hours, it was all over and I headed to the automobile and drove home, where I reached midnight. A good musical evening, however a 3-hour drive was just excessive.
