The festival will make a black list of musicians performing in russia
Dear friends,
we see all your messages and posts and are also trying to find an answer to the question: how can it happen? We received words of support from Avishai Cohen, video messages that we shared with you, and a month ago we were working on the possibility of a charity concert.
Now we see posters of Avishai Cohen's concerts in russia. Of course, we took the opportunity to contact the musician's management directly and expressed our indignation. We even received unconvincing explanations:
"I have never been political nor have I been identified with any religion or race. I view all people the same all over the globe, they all deserve to be uplifted by the gift of music..."
Unfortunately, our black list is replenished with musicians whom we admired. And among them are not only Avishai Cohen and Richard Bona, but also others who have chosen this path. Well, let's draw conclusions. and clean up our playlists...
Sincerely,
Leopolis Jazz Fest Team
