A group of artists featuring Russian musical performances has used social media platforms to express dissatisfaction regarding their exclusion from this year’s “Sea Festival.” While the group was included in the festival during the previous year, their performance was reportedly associated with a concert by the group known as “Loud Fish,” an event that reportedly caused controversy among music enthusiasts. “Loud Fish” is described as a collective of young performers based in Vilnius, Lithuania. Their performances are not limited to Lithuania but also extend into neighboring countries, Latvia and Estonia.
Although they have performed within Vilnius, a notable characteristic of their repertoire is that they predominantly sing in Russian, though some songs are occasionally performed in Lithuanian or English. According to reports, the organizers of the “Sea Festival” may have taken the feedback from the previous year into consideration, as the group was reportedly not invited this year. One representative associated with the group stated, “We tried to get permission to hold a street concert since March, but we have been trying to get it since March.”
The discussion centers on the group’s desire to participate in major cultural events.
The social media posts highlight the disappointment stemming from not being invited, suggesting that the previous year’s circumstances surrounding the “Loud Fish” concert played a role in the current decision. The situation reflects ongoing discussions within the local music scene regarding performance scheduling and artistic representation.
