Emir Kusturica to perform in Crimea

Serbian director and musician Emir Kusturica and his folk and rock band The No Smoking Orchestra will put on the first and only concert in Crimea on July 23, the event’s organizers said.

"The performance by the world-famous band will be held in Yalta. The orchestra’s new program has the same name as the director’s only film for the past decade, On the Milky Road, starring Emir himself and Monica Bellucci," TASS cited the organizers as saying.

It is known that during the Crimean show, the musicians will perform favorites from Kusturica’s well-known movies, such as "Black Cat, White Cat", "Life is a Miracle," "Time of the Gypsies," "Arizona Dream" and "Promise Me This."
