\u00cen timp ce manelistul Florin Salam \u0219i trupa sa p\u0103r\u0103seau New York-ul cu buzunarele pline, fiind prin\u0219i de vame\u0219ii americani cu aproximativ 100 de mii de dolari nedeclara\u021bi, ob\u021binu\u021bi din c\u00e2teva concerte \u0219i confisca\u021bi, \u00een marea metropol\u0103 american\u0103 avea loc un eveniment cultural de excep\u021bie: artista rom\u00e2nc\u0103 Elena M\u00e2ndru Turunen, \u00eempreun\u0103 cu so\u021bul s\u0103u, pianistul finlandez Tuomas Turunen, acompania\u021bi de o trup\u0103 de muzicieni americani \u0219i finlandezi de prim\u0103 m\u00e2n\u0103, sus\u021bineau un concert de jazz la un club celebru din Manhattan.<\/p>\n
S-a \u00eent\u00e2mplat duminic\u0103, 25 februarie 2017, \u00een fa\u021ba unei s\u0103li pline cu rom\u00e2ni \u0219i americani, excep\u021bionala noastr\u0103 artist\u0103 \u0219i trupa ei ridic\u00e2nd asisten\u021ba \u00een picioare cu un repertoriu compus din piese rom\u00e2ne\u0219ti \u0219i interna\u021bionale executat perfect! La un moment dat, o osp\u0103t\u0103ri\u021b\u0103 a venit cu o cutie de carton pe care scria \u201cDona\u021bii pentru arti\u0219ti\u201d, concertul fiind gratuit, fiecare contribuind cu o sum\u0103 modic\u0103. |n final, conform obiceiului \u00een cluburile de jazz americane, artista rom\u00e2nc\u0103 s-a \u00eentre\u021binut cu publicul \u0219i a v\u00e2ndut c\u00e2teva CD-uri. Nu \u0219tiu dac\u0103 a primit 200 sau 300 de dolari pentru o presta\u021bie care mi-a t\u0103iat respira\u021bia \u0219i a l\u0103sat f\u0103r\u0103 replic\u0103 un public venit la concert chiar din \u021bara jazz-ului!<\/p>\n
La o mas\u0103, \u00eentr-un col\u021b, am observat prezen\u021ba discret\u0103 a ambasadorului Rom\u00e2niei la Na\u021biunile Unite, Domnul Ion Jinga, venit \u00eempreun\u0103 cu so\u021bia s\u0103 \u00a0o asculte \u0219i s\u0103 o sus\u021bin\u0103 pe artista rom\u00e2nc\u0103. Un gest semnificativ pentru un diplomat de carier\u0103 care \u0219tie s\u0103 aprecieze \u0219i s\u0103 promoveze\u00a0 – fie \u0219i prin simpla prezen\u021b\u0103 – evolu\u021bia valorilor rom\u00e2ne\u0219ti \u00een spa\u021biul cultural american.<\/p>\n
Compar\u00e2nd (dac\u0103 poate fi vorba de o compara\u021bie!) presta\u021bia mediocr\u0103, sumele uria\u0219e \u00eencasate \u0219i ilegalit\u0103\u021bile comise de manelistul Florin Salam \u0219i \u00a0de trupa lui cu evolu\u021bia Elenei M\u00e2ndru Turunen, m\u0103 \u00eentreb: o fi drept s\u0103 fim reprezenta\u021bi \u00een America de asemenea pseudo-valori, \u00een detrimentul arti\u0219tilor autentici?! Ce a f\u0103cut Florin Salam pentru a \u00eencasa sume uria\u0219e, \u00een timp ce Elena M\u00e2ndru Turunen\u00a0 c\u00e2nt\u0103 gratis \u0219i este aplaudat\u0103 \u00een picioare \u00een America!?<\/p>\n
