Mile Kekin, the frontman of the band Hladno pivo, finally held his long-awaited concert in Zagreb, where he premiered his new song “Ilica, Marić, hajka odrasle” — a furious response to his recent detention. Yes, you read that right — Kekin was detained, and now through music, he sheds light on the political swamp surrounding us.
The concert at the Močvara club was not just a musical event but a true act of resistance and defiance. Organizers described it as “an exit from the political swamp and an entrance into the musical one.” Kekin made it clear that his new song is angry, fierce, and full of rage because, as he says, such a response is necessary in times when “darkness is slowly dawning on us.”
The audience experienced all phases of Kekin’s long career, but the highlight was the premiere of this new provocative song. “Ilica, Marić, hajka odrasle” is not just a song but a call to awaken and a critical voice in times when such voices are more precious than ever.
This concert and song send a clear message that artists will not stay silent under political pressure and will fight for freedom of expression. Kekin showed he is ready to stand up against a system that tries to silence criticism and fight for truth and justice through music.
If you thought music was just entertainment, Kekin proved it can be a weapon. So, what do you think? Is it time for you to raise your voice, or will you stay silent? Share your thoughts — maybe your word can change something!
