Bend će 3. marta održati veliki beogradski koncert u sali „Amerikana“ Doma omladine The band will hold a major concert on 3 rd March in the Amerikana Hall of Belgrade’s Dom Omladine youth centre

Veština i znanje steče- no višedecenijskim isku- stvom spakovani su na album „Beton“ legendarnog beograd- skog alternativnog sastava „Kan- da, Kodža i Nebojša“ (KKN). Uni- katno pevanje i spisateljska veština frontmena Olivera Nektarijevića, virtuozne solaže na gitari Nenada Pejovića, nenadmašno gitarsko po- entiranje Janka Mostarlića, vrato- lomije Boška Stanojevića na bas gi- tari i bubnjarske bravure Vladana Rajovića čine grupu „Kanda, Kodža i Nebojša“ upravo danas i ovde to- liko svežom. Bend će 3. marta održati veli- ki beogradski koncert u sali „Ame- rikana“ Doma omladine, a deveto studijsko izdanje je prilika da i mi kao posmatrači redefinišemo odnos prema KKN-u i shvatimo zašto ovu grupu još volimo. Ali februar je i u znaku dodele nagrada „Gremi“, pa smo zamoli Olivera da, među no- minovanima, prokomentariše omi- ljene izvođače, singlove ili pesme. – Ne sumnjam da će se na naj- prestižnijoj smotri američke muzič- ke industrije vrednovati talenat nje- nih najistaknutijih aktera, posebno imajući u vidu da su među nomino- vanima legende kao što su Ozi Oz-

born, Elvis Kostelo i „Imposters“ ili Vili Nelson, zatim oni koji već du- go koračaju ka takvom statusu po- put „Blek kiz“, „Arkejd fajer“, Bjork ili „Megadet“, do nada kakve pred- stavljaju „Turnstil“ ili „Big tif“. Opet, muzička industrija kao i svaka indu- strija igra po davno ustanovljenim pravilima, što je sasvim u redu, ali pravila moje muzičke radoznalosti su obično manje predvidiva. Ipak, čini mi se da bi u nejasnim vreme- nima u kakvim živimo bilo suviše cinično da osporavam bilo čije pra- vo na staru, dobru i konzervativnu zabavu kakvu nudi dodela „Gremi- ja“. Posebno što broj i vrsta katego- rija u kojima se bira ono najbolje nudi dane i dane istraživanja, a u ponudi je veliki broj odavno doka- zanih imena – kaže Oliver i doda- je da bi „Gremi“ dodelio svima koji danas uspevaju da održe kontinu- itet sopstvenog stvaralaštva. Inače 65. dodela „Gremija“ zaka- zana je za 5. februar, a Bijonse, ni- šta novo i neobično, zasad predvodi ekipu sa čak devet nominacija. Prate je Adel, Hari Stajls, Ozi Ozborn, iz- među ostalih, dok su prvi put u ka- tegoriji za najboljeg novog izvođača, nominovani pobednici „Evrosonga“ 2021. godine, grupa „Maneskin“.

U susret koncertu „Kande, Kodže i Nebojše“ Gremija Dodelio bih svima koji uspevaju da traju „Muzika u atmosferi neizvesnosti u kojoj živimo sa dobrim razlogom ima ulogu prijatelja na koga se možemo osloniti“, kaže frontmen KKN Oliver Nektarijević

On the eve of the Kanda, Kodža i Nebojša concert I would present a Grammy award to anyone who endures In the atmosphere of uncertainty in which we live, there’s a good reason why music plays the role of a friend we can rely on, says KKN frontman Oliver Nektarijević

cording to rules established long ago, which is perfectly fine, but the rules of my musical curiosity are ordinarily less predictable. How- ever, it seems to me that in the uncertain times in which we live, it would be excessively cynical to challenge anyone’s right to good old fashioned, conservative enter- tainment like the Grammys. And that’s particularly the case because the number and type of categories in which the best is chosen pro- vides for days and days of research, and on offer is a large number of well-established names,” says Ol- iver, adding that he would award a Grammy to everyone who suc- ceeds in maintaining the continu- ity of their own creativity today. Otherwise, the 65 th edition of the Grammy Awards is scheduled to take place on 5 th February, and it comes as no surprise that Beyon- cé currently leads the team, with as many as nine nominations. She is followed by Adele, Harry Styles and Ozzy Osbourne, among oth- ers, while the winners of the 2021 Eurovision Song contest – Italian rock band Måneskin – have been nominated in the Best New Art- ist category, marking the first time a Eurovision winner has received this nomination.

Skill and knowhow ac- quired over many decades of experience are packed into the latest Beton [Concrete] album of Belgrade’s legendary alternative rock band Kanda, Kodža i Nebo- jša (KKN). The inimitable singing talent and writing skills of front- man Oliver Nektarijević, the virtu- oso guitar solos of Nenad Pejović, the unsurpassed guitar scoring of Janko Mostarlić, the neck-break- ing stunts of Boško Stanojević on the bass guitar and the exception- al drumming of Vladan Rajović are what ensure KKN remains so fresh to this day. The band will hold a major concert on 3 rd March in the Amer- ikana Hall of Belgrade’s Dom Om- ladine youth centre, while their ninth studio album provides an opportunity for us, as observers,

to redefine our attitude towards KKN and comprehend why we still love this band. But February is al- so marked by the Grammy Awards, which is why we asked Oliver to comment on his favourite artists, singles or songs among the nom- inations. “I don’t doubt that the most prestigious review of the American music industry will show appre- ciation for the talent of its most prominent players, especially given that the nominees include legends like Ozzy Osbourne, Elvis Costel- lo & The Imposters or Willie Nel- son, then also those that have been heading towards earning such a status, like The Black Keys, Ar- cade Fire, Bjork or Megadeth, to the hopes represented by Turnstile or Big Thief. Again, the music in- dustry, like any industry, plays ac-

Bijonse ponovo ima najveći broj nominacija za „Gremi“ – čak devet Beyonce has once again been nominated for the most Grammy awards – as many as nine
