For the third consecutive evening, the Sava Center was filled to capacity, as Hari Mata Hari once again confirmed his status as one of the most popular regional singers.
From the very first notes, it was clear that the audience was in for an evening full of emotion and nostalgia. Hits that defined generations followed one after another, with the hall echoing lyrics that the attendees sang almost louder than the singer himself.
One of the most popular singers in the region has a more than rich musical repertoire, but there are songs he inevitably performs at every concert. The audience was thus able to hear songs like the unavoidable "Lejla," followed by hits "Kao domine," "Prsten i zlatni lanac," and "Kad doฤe oktobar."
One of them is "Strah me da te volim," the famous hit from 1990. Ahead of the third major performance, he revealed how the song came to be.
"Songs are created. A melodic moment comes to you, and it's like the start of a theme, then you develop it. Then it's 'not that,' 'it is that'... Or a sentence like 'Strah me da te volim,' then how, what, where? Is it like the old 'Strah me da te volim,' but never... Then you reconcile it. It's a process, it's not like the entire text falls from the sky. It's the torments of Tantalus, bit by bit, sentence by sentence," Hari said about the timeless hit for local media.
The third sold-out concert in a row once again demonstrated that Hari's popularity shows no signs of waning, and that his songs continue to hold a special place in the hearts of audiences across the region.
