RITAM GRADA RHYTHM OF THE TOWN
KNEZ MIHAILOVA VOLI BITLSE KNEZ MIHAILOVA LOVES THE BEATLES
Sergej Bočkov i Stefan Lazarević dobili su od gradskog žirija za ulične umetnike ocenu 9,57 Sergej Bočkov and Stefan Lazarević received a rating of 9.57 from the city jury for street artists
Whether or not you are musically educated isn’t so important on the street. What is much more im- portant is that you know how to draw the attention of passersby. It is enough for you to make an interest- ing appearance for people to stop and to see and hear you, even when they are in a major hurry. This is claimed by Stefan Lazarević, a street art- ist who performs on Knez Mihailova Street. For the last two years he has been playing in tandem with Russian Sergei Bochkov, who moved to our coun- try because of his Serbian wife. This duet received a high rating of 9.57 from the city jury for street artists, which came thanks to their repertoire and original performances. - Guidelines stipulate that during a single day be- tween five and seven performers can interchange in one place. Prior to coming to Belgrade, I worked as a street musician in Germany and Russia, but here peo- ple are somehow more relaxed and more open to dis- play emotion - says Sergei, who plays piano and flute as well as double bass. Whenever they are bored at home, this pair heads out to perform on the street. They mainly entertain passersby with foreign pop and jazz music, and for foreigners they often play the hits of The Beatles and Louis Armstrong. - We are privileged because we have a job that we love, we can make a living from that and we also rep- resent a cultural attraction of Belgrade – says Stefan.
Da li si muzički obrazovan ili ne, to na ulici i nije toliko važno, mnogo je bitnije da znaš da skreneš pa- žnju prolaznika na sebe. Dovoljno je da imaš intere- santnu pojavu, pa će ljudi zastati da te čuju i vide. Čak i onda kad su u velikoj žurbi. Ovo tvrdi Stefan Lazarević, ulični svirač iz Knez Mihailove ulice. Poslednje dve godine svira u tan- demu sa Rusom Sergejom Bočkovim, koji se dose- lio u našu zemlju zbog supruge Srpkinje. Ovaj duo od gradskog žirija za ulične umetnike dobio je visoku ocenu 9,57, i to zahvaljujući svom repertoaru i origi- nalnim nastupima. – Pravilnikom je regulisano da tokom dana na jednom mestu može da se promeni od pet do sedam izvođača. Pre Beograda radio sam kao ulični svirač u Nemačkoj i Rusiji, ali ovde su ljudi nekako opušteniji i otvoreniji da pokažu emocije – kaže Sergej, koji, osim kontrabasa, svira i klavir i flautu. Kad god im je dosadno kod kuće, izađu na ulicu da sviraju. Prolaznike uglavnom uveseljavaju stranom pop i džez muzikom, a zbog stranaca često sviraju hitove Bitlsa i Luja Armstronga. – Mi smo privilegovani jer radimo posao koji voli- mo, živimo od njega i pritom predstavljamo kulturnu atrakciju Beograda – kaže Stefan.
