Rapper Masayah, conductor Živa Ploj Peršuh, the Music for the future Symphony Orchestra, made up of members of the Slovenian Youth Orchestra together with young Ukrainian musicians, and other guests united the seemingly irreconcilable on the stage of Križanke on Tuesday, 7 June 2022. Classical music, rap, original beats, covers, poetry and lyrics elevated young people as heralds of change for a healthy natural world and society, and of a decision that each individual must first make for themselves.
Open your eyes and speak up, the messengers of the young generation told us – the rappers Masayah, Emkej, Drill, Slick, Vazz, N3, Matter Dacho, Tunja, Žena, La Bagra, Smirbe, Chiro, Ghet, Zlatko and Hyu, who updated, explored and reinterpreted poems by our great poets Prešeren, Župančič, Zajc, Šalamun and others, collected in a book of Slovenian rebel poetry and on the new album H2SO4.
They shared the stage with the musicians of the Music for the future orchestra and conductor Živa Ploj Peršuh, violin soloist Maja Horvat and Dr Igor Saksida. Their shared voice was the spirit of the times, the voice of the future, an offering of hope and heart.
