Vrsar: Montraker Live Music Festival 2010.
Rimski kamenolom pun glazbe
A Roman Stone-Pit Full of Music
Detalje o programu i zbivanjima na festivalu najbolje ćete
pratiti na www.montrakerlive.com pa ćete, uostalom, i sami,
kako tvrde organizatori, moći vidjeti po čemu se to Montraker
razlikuje od ostalih festivala.
To keep up-to-date with the program and the festival events,
visit: www.montrakerlive.com and see for yourself what
distinguishes, as the organizers claim, Montraker from other
festivals.
Mali primorski, istarski gradić već je godinama omiljena destinacija
sve većem broju turista, što i ne čudi s obzirom na to da su kulturnozabavni
sadržaji grada iz godine u godinu sve brojniji, ali i kvalitetniji.
Jedna od takvih vrsarskih atrakcija postao je i Montraker Festival koji
se ove godine održava drugi put na prostoru javne plaže, vrsarske
zone zabave i rekreacije - Montraker, iznimno atraktivnom dijelu
zapadne obale Istre.
Festival koji se održava na idealnom koncertnom prostoru, na
samom ulazu u kamenolom Montraker, već je u svom prvom izdanju
privukao mnogo veći broj posjetitelja od očekivanog. U tri dana
srpnja nastupili su renomirani domaći i strani glazbenici jazz, etno,
blues i gospel glazbenog izričaja. Organizirano je ukupno 6 koncerata
(svaki dan po dva), i to po receptu - najprije nešto mirnija, akustična
glazba, da bi potom atmosferu dodatno zagrijali nešto energičniji,
Vrsar, a small Istrian town, has been the favorite destination among
a growing number of tourists, which is not surprising considering the
fact that the cultural and entertainment attraction of the town has
been growing in quantity and in quality from one year to the next.
One of Vrsar’s such attractions is the Montraker Festival which is
being held for the second time on a public beach, in the Vrsar zone for
entertainment and recreation - Montraker, an exceptionally attractive
part on the west coast of Istria.
The festival that takes place in a perfect concert space, at the very
entrance to the stone-pit Montraker, had attracted a much stronger
number of visitors than expected, the first time it was organized.
During three days in July, there were performances of recognized
Croatian musicians as well as foreign jazz, ethno, blues and gospel
performers. 6 concerts were organized (2 per day) following the
jači i električni ritmovi. Izgleda da se takav koncept iznimno dopao
mnogobrojnoj publici pa se svakog dana tražilo mjesto više. Koncert
su otvorili pulsko-zagrebački tandem Tamara Obrovac - Matija
Dedić, a nakon toga nastupili su vrhunski talijanski gitaristi različitih
stilskih odrednica, okupljeni u all-stars skupini Guitarland, a čijim su
umijećem i bogatstvom melodijskih i ritmičkih oblika posjetitelji bili
oduševljeni.
2010. – ritmovi Kube, blues i “sav taj jazz”
Ovim događajem organizatori - Općina Vrsar i Turistička zajednica
općine Vrsar uspjeli su u nakani da uspješno promoviraju Vrsar, a
naročito područje Montrakera kao turističku destinaciju okrenutu
uživanju u blagodatima ljeta, kupanju i sunčanju, ali i kulturi, zabavi
i rekreaciji. “Ovaj glazbeni događaj, uz to što obogaćuje kulturnointended
recipe - at first, more peaceful, acoustic music, only to
additionally heat up the atmosphere with somewhat more energetic,
more powerful, electronic rhythms. It seems that the huge audience
absorbed this concept to the extent that the festival was filled to
capacity every day. The concert was opened by Tamara Obrovac and
Matija Dedić, from Pula and Zagreb. They were followed by excellent
Italian guitarists, playing a range of different styles, gathered in the
all-stars band “guitarland”, which fired up the visitors with their talent
and richness of melodic and rhythmic forms.
2010 - Cuban Rhythm, Blues and “All That Jazz”
With this event, the organizers, the Municipality of Vrsar and the
Tourist Board of Vrsar, succeeded in their intention to promote Vrsar,
especially Montraker, as a tourist destination associated not only with
