1
00:03:40,470 --> 00:03:44,670
Music finds its place in the most hidden places of human soul.

2
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,350
For me, the song is not just a melody,

3
00:03:47,350 --> 00:03:49,020
but also a celebration of the spirit.

4
00:03:49,690 --> 00:03:53,540
What man cannot see through his eyes, can feel from the music,

5
00:03:53,570 --> 00:03:56,360
which can express it emotionally.

6
00:03:56,590 --> 00:04:01,050
So, it gives to the soul of a perceptive man an option to see its beauty.

7
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,490
Where the performer can do it,

8
00:04:03,490 --> 00:04:06,510
there is a need to bow to him.

9
00:04:06,970 --> 00:04:09,480
It is an expression of one of the few ways

10
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:13,280
how, in a good way, affect the souls of people,

11
00:04:13,500 --> 00:04:15,840
who want to perceive the music and art,

12
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:22,010
listen carefully to the performer who put into his presentation the colored spirit,

13
00:04:22,140 --> 00:04:24,960
and the human spirit as well.

14
00:04:25,540 --> 00:04:28,170
And my playing on the violin was about it.

15
00:04:28,290 --> 00:04:30,780
About humaneness and acquaintance

16
00:04:30,990 --> 00:04:33,640
with my devoted violin.

17
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:35,480
Ladies and gentlemen,

18
00:04:36,070 --> 00:04:38,980
I welcome you tonight,

19
00:04:39,100 --> 00:04:44,490
like a man, who has left a tremendous wealth, would welcome you.

20
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:50,450
Tonight, here, on the stage or in the audience, together, we will become a monolithic whole,

21
00:04:50,450 --> 00:04:56,930
which will pay homage and respect to Ján Berky Mrenica sr.

22
00:05:11,490 --> 00:05:14,570
Let me welcome tonight at the stage

23
00:05:14,570 --> 00:05:18,980
especially Devil's Violin of Ján Berky Mrenica Jr.,

24

25
00:05:29,850 --> 00:05:31,540
Jozef Ferko,

26
00:05:34,790 --> 00:05:36,360
Martin Valihora,

27
00:05:38,060 --> 00:05:39,410
Juraj Burian

28
00:05:40,930 --> 00:05:42,460
and Juraj Griglák.

29
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,180
I also welcome the soloists of the genre

30
00:05:49,220 --> 00:05:52,570
very close to Ján Berky Mrenica Sr.

31
00:05:52,570 --> 00:05:54,680
and it was operetta and opera.

32
00:05:54,700 --> 00:05:56,370
Performed by opera singers

33
00:05:56,490 --> 00:05:59,880
Oto Klein, Jana Bernáthová and Dušan Jarjabek,

34
00:06:00,070 --> 00:06:03,780
you will hear famous Granada, Kuplet Adel

35
00:06:04,140 --> 00:06:08,090
or Alone without a Woman or Song of the Native Country.

36
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:12,080
Ladies and gentlemen, tonight, Ján Berky Mrenica.

37
00:21:05,750 --> 00:21:08,710
Oto Klein, Jana Bernáthová, Dušan Jarjabek.

38
00:21:08,910 --> 00:21:13,220
It wasn't an accident that the program began with the arias.

39
00:21:13,390 --> 00:21:19,910
Now, let me invite two more important people to the stage,

40
00:21:19,910 --> 00:21:23,730
and one of them wanted to be a godfather, voluntarily.

41
00:21:23,820 --> 00:21:27,260
Because now the CD of Devil's Violin of Ján Berky Mrenica

42
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,620
in the Opera will see the light of the day,

43
00:21:30,690 --> 00:21:33,640
with soloists Jolana Fogašová, Jana Bernáthová,

44
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,530
Dušan Jarjabek and Otokar Klein.

45
00:21:36,950 --> 00:21:39,220
So I ask Marián Čekovský,

46
00:21:52,890 --> 00:21:54,510
who has a secret liquid.

47
00:21:54,510 --> 00:21:59,240
It's the recipe is from another guest, Mr. Ivan King Vereš.

48
00:21:59,250 --> 00:22:03,220
So, tonight we welcome Devil's Violin in the Opera

49
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:07,060
and four soloists by heartfelt applause

50
00:22:07,090 --> 00:22:10,610
and the secret liquid, the recipe of which won't be published.

51
00:22:10,650 --> 00:22:12,930
Mariánko, please...

52
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:30,280
Yes, good evening, it is a bicarbonate soda.

53
00:22:32,020 --> 00:22:38,060
We decided, for you, Janko, to christen this CD very untraditionally.

54
00:22:39,120 --> 00:22:41,400
One, two, three, four.

55
00:23:01,190 --> 00:23:05,280
For Mr. John in translation: Pre pána Jána.

56
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:09,970
Here the uncle show you the singing Indian.

57
00:23:19,450 --> 00:23:21,600
He went through the whole world and the sky.

58
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:25,040
No he will show you how Slovak rapper do it.

59
00:23:28,910 --> 00:23:31,330
Pišta and Uncle, two jokers.

60
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:35,710
Pišta and Uncle, two jokers.

61
00:23:38,290 --> 00:23:40,670
Pišta and Uncle, two jokers.

62
00:23:43,180 --> 00:23:45,560
Pišta and Uncle, two jokers.

63
00:23:46,730 --> 00:23:48,440
Go Pišta!

64
00:23:48,830 --> 00:23:52,680
- Go, go, go.
- One, two, three, four.

65
00:23:53,270 --> 00:23:54,680
For Mr. John

66
00:23:55,130 --> 00:23:57,310
in translation Pre pána Jána.

67
00:23:57,310 --> 00:23:59,330
Now, Uncle will show you

68
00:23:59,330 --> 00:24:02,060
how he listened Indian for the second time.

69
00:24:08,970 --> 00:24:11,420
- I go, I go, do you listen me? 
- So come on.

70
00:24:11,610 --> 00:24:16,370
Firstly: 
 To have fun it's great as to read very big poems.

71
00:24:16,370 --> 00:24:20,950
Needs to stop stealing, needs a  new image building.

72
00:24:20,950 --> 00:24:25,680
Thirdly: 
 Be careful of gadjo who creates negative energy.

73
00:24:25,870 --> 00:24:30,600
Fourthly, take care of your family, by love make cancer to be killed.

74
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:35,220
Fifthly, not at least, chase young chicks.

75
00:24:35,330 --> 00:24:39,930
Sixthly, be concentrated on humor, otherwise there's no money for support.

76
00:24:40,190 --> 00:24:44,950
Seventhly, hear me? whooops, give me that knife and this litlle pig.

77
00:24:45,010 --> 00:24:49,570
Cousin developed technology but cannot trick the Bible.

78
00:24:49,570 --> 00:24:52,060
If you think this is a black oil,

79
00:24:52,060 --> 00:24:54,400
sing yourself, hop, či, čiviri, hopa.

80
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:03,930
Mouth you have as Central Europe.

81
00:25:03,930 --> 00:25:06,220
Come on everybody!

82
00:25:08,650 --> 00:25:10,840
You're waiting for us,

83
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,550
let's everybody make a party.

84
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,570
pray for us,

85
00:25:22,700 --> 00:25:25,770
come on everybody,

86
00:25:27,310 --> 00:25:29,550
you're waiting for us,

87
00:25:29,750 --> 00:25:32,040
and for us, and for us, and for us.

88
00:25:32,110 --> 00:25:35,220
let's everybody make a party.

89
00:25:36,900 --> 00:25:40,110
pray for us.

90
00:25:42,610 --> 00:25:44,960
We baptise the CD.

91
00:25:55,820 --> 00:25:57,410
Thank you very much.

92
00:25:57,800 --> 00:25:59,370
This CD is introducing to the world

93
00:25:59,370 --> 00:26:01,720
and I want to thank all partners

94
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:03,890
who have participated on this CD.

95
00:26:03,970 --> 00:26:05,550
Of course, the Art Spektrum,

96
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:07,820
A PRP Drevo, Janko Božík, who

97
00:26:07,820 --> 00:26:10,160
apologized for not being able to come today.

98
00:26:10,310 --> 00:26:14,320
Thank you very much an we can continue.

99
00:26:24,070 --> 00:26:25,080
Original baptising.

100
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:29,850
Really, we'd no idea what these gentlemen've prepared while smoking in the back.

101
00:26:30,220 --> 00:26:32,010
But we continue.

102
00:26:32,350 --> 00:26:34,820
The top of creative endeavor of Ján Berky Mrenica

103
00:26:34,820 --> 00:26:38,560
was the establishment of the top music ensemble The Devil's Violin,

104
00:26:38,670 --> 00:26:41,300
with whom he performed concerts at home and abroad.

105
00:26:41,300 --> 00:26:44,560
He wrote and edited the compositions.

106
00:26:44,750 --> 00:26:48,170
He is the main creator of the folk part of their repertoir.

107
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:52,040
Ján Berky Mrenica Jr. took over his father's scepter.

108
00:26:57,970 --> 00:27:00,170
The evidence that Devil's Violin is a top performer,

109
00:27:00,170 --> 00:27:04,040
is the Gold Record, 1999, album Gypsy Dance,

110
00:27:04,470 --> 00:27:07,890
three times the Grammy award from the Slovak Musical Academy.

111
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,380
The orchestra performed almost all over Europe,

112
00:27:10,380 --> 00:27:12,200
in USA, Canada, Australia, Japan,

113
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,910
China, Taiwan, Jordan, Egypt, Morocco.

114
00:27:14,980 --> 00:27:16,090
I have to breathe.

115
00:27:16,330 --> 00:27:19,450
They have worked with renowned singers, instrumentalists,

116
00:27:19,450 --> 00:27:23,380
as Lucie Bílá, Daniel Hůlka, Ilona Csáková, Sisa Sklovská,

117
00:27:23,380 --> 00:27:27,380
Paľo Habera, Katka Hasprová, brothers Dvorský, Maťko Babjak.

118
00:27:27,430 --> 00:27:31,580
Ala and Jolana Fogašová, Juraj Burian and Juraj Bartoš.

119
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:35,540
In collaboration with Monitor EMI they released eight albums.

120
00:27:35,540 --> 00:27:37,570
But it's ten now.

121
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:39,920
The proof of the quality and

122
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,990
the breadth of the genre is also a new CD,

123
00:27:43,110 --> 00:27:48,340
but also the repertoire you will hear tonight.

124
00:27:48,730 --> 00:27:51,750
The Devil's Violin will greet you with the composition Highlander's Hornets,

125
00:27:51,750 --> 00:27:54,800
amended by Ján Berky Mrenica Sr.

126
00:27:55,070 --> 00:27:58,350
After him tonight we'll welcome

127
00:27:58,460 --> 00:28:02,190
the lady of chanson singing and

128
00:28:02,190 --> 00:28:05,540
theater chanson, Mrs. Jana Hubinská,

129
00:28:05,630 --> 00:28:09,650
who will dedicate to Ján Berky Mrenica her Ružový život.

130
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:11,970
Ladies and gentlemen, The Devil's Violin!

131
00:33:24,740 --> 00:33:26,100
Good evening.

132
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:31,000
And now we're going through Pink garden with the Devil's Violin.

133
00:36:40,910 --> 00:36:43,200
This is the song from Edith Piaf,

134
00:36:43,310 --> 00:36:47,360
which talks about we should live so that we never regret anything,

135
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:49,440
So I don't know if it's fully possible,

136
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:52,010
but I think that nobody here

137
00:36:52,010 --> 00:36:54,580
on this stage needn't regret anything.

138
00:36:54,630 --> 00:36:56,810
And you too, that you're here.

139
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:03,970
Edith Piaf and her I regret Nothing.

140
00:40:04,090 --> 00:40:05,120
She left very quickly.

141
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:07,980
This wasn't a lady who had a rheumatiz, as Edith.

142
00:40:07,980 --> 00:40:09,930
It was Jana Hubinská.

143
00:40:10,290 --> 00:40:13,020
And we'll move a little further.

144
00:40:13,020 --> 00:40:19,900
The Romani song goes from heart to heart.

145
00:40:20,390 --> 00:40:25,800
Where Roma live, there a song can be heard.

146
00:40:26,140 --> 00:40:32,520
Egality makes friends.

147
00:40:32,700 --> 00:40:34,250
Why I was quoting?

148
00:40:34,720 --> 00:40:36,410
I was quoting from wise words

149
00:40:36,410 --> 00:40:41,320
written by Ján Berky Mrenica on his travels around the world.

150
00:40:41,410 --> 00:40:46,010
And thanks to his daughter Anina Botošová, and of course Janko too,

151
00:40:46,010 --> 00:40:50,600
the beautiful book titled The Romani Words of Wisdom came into the world.

152
00:40:50,670 --> 00:40:55,580
The children of Ján Berky Mrenica preserved these words in various forms.

153
00:40:55,630 --> 00:40:59,610
On the postcards, napkins, the note papers.

154
00:40:59,780 --> 00:41:02,680
Today, his words are in the form of book and they're beautiful.

155
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:06,860
Well, when I talked about the equality of friends,

156
00:41:06,860 --> 00:41:11,290
I mentioned it, because many of our friends

157
00:41:11,370 --> 00:41:14,750
will perform tonight at this stage.

158
00:41:14,950 --> 00:41:19,980
One of them is a great singer from Poland,

159
00:41:19,980 --> 00:41:23,470
Mr. Jozef Merstein Jochymczyk.

160
00:41:23,790 --> 00:41:25,130
Please, Jozef.

161
00:41:36,930 --> 00:41:40,520
Tonight I was talking about the orchestra of The Devil's Violin,

162
00:41:40,590 --> 00:41:43,800
which bear the message of Ján Berky Mrenica Sr.

163
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:46,350
You play as a soloist with the orchestra The Devil's Violin,

164
00:41:46,350 --> 00:41:47,760
so, tell me, please,

165
00:41:48,030 --> 00:41:53,450
I know it for myself what is the cooperation with Janko and his musicians, but tell me

166
00:41:53,500 --> 00:41:57,690
what are your feelings when you're playing with this orchestra in the far Poland.

167
00:41:59,990 --> 00:42:04,570
Mrs. Janka asked me how I feel it.

168
00:42:04,570 --> 00:42:06,400
Simply,

169
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:10,650
I've played in Poland for many years, but I couldn't find such a good violinist

170
00:42:10,650 --> 00:42:15,830
to record a CD together.

171
00:42:15,830 --> 00:42:17,480
You understand me.

172
00:42:18,970 --> 00:42:22,230
And I found

173
00:42:22,630 --> 00:42:25,300
Ján Berky Mrenica and we connected

174
00:42:25,300 --> 00:42:32,570
and we recorded a common music album of Sinti, German and French Roma.

Hi, mom.

And, yes, it's not "med lízať" (bed of roses),

212
01:40:10,480 --> 01:40:12,200
I would say one beautiful motto,
