#5th night - Petrit Ceku
Tonight the red hall at the Youth Center (ex-Boro Ramizi, communist labeling - but still the main hall is called the "red" hall) was packed with people young and old. A very talented guitar player simply mesmerized us all. Petrit Ceku, born here but now living in Zagreb, Croatia, sounded like he had a back-up guitar orchestra with him. But the thing is that he did not. Petrit and someone from the 17th century in Venice could be friends, since he that this look that "made me imagine the boats of Venice". His stage presence was good, and his performance masterful. The sounds he produced were so melodic, so full of color, that - probably for the first time - made me want to listen to it more and start liking these festivals even more. The guy was unbelievable, and the stage was nicely set - there were two mirrors so you could also see the back of the guitarist if you wanted to. We saw friends at the concert, some people that normaly do not like classical music, but don't have where to go. Most of the decorations were red-dyed cloth, and black-dyed cloth, and I imagined that a plane came crashing into the hall, cutting us all up and splashing the walls and floor with red - so that each square of the hall is red. Sponsors for the event gave so much money, and yet they could not fix the screeching makeshift floors that they improvized for the festival.

Petrit was probably not aware of any of that (the occasional noise, the number of the crowd) - because he was playing with his eyes shut all the time and his ears wrapped around his guitar sounds. It looked as if the deep emotional feel that he had put into the songs made him do that. His hands seemed to know their way on their own.
Such a melodic night, from a really talented/promising individual.
