Through the daily traffic of Cluj, a bit of magic has made its way. A band took out their instruments and organized an ad hoc concert, right on a crosswalk in the city center. In order not to confuse traffic, the young artists synchronized the musical performance with the red color of the traffic lights.
“There are many things I don’t do because of my personality type. I’m not spontaneous, I don’t start conversations with strangers if I don’t have to, I don’t draw attention to myself, I avoid conflicts, but what I would absolutely never do is stand in front of cars waiting for the light to turn green in the city center in traffic more intense and start singing.
But that’s exactly what happened on Wednesday. Together with my band, we were thinking about how to bring our music closer to the people and at the same time get a little out of our comfort zone, that’s how the idea was born and then came the biggest surprise.
As a driver, I know exactly how frustrating it can be when the day has already started badly and you’re even late for work and you’re driving in slow-moving traffic, while somewhere in front of the traffic the light turns green, but someone cuts you off, although you should hurry so much and in the end you still don’t catch the green.
It proved to me once again that music is magic. It was an amazing feeling to see angry and frustrated faces change, turn into smiles as we started to sing.
For these moments I/we do what we do.”, said Mano Botond Ráduly, the soloist of the band Mano & Gregor.
