The musical legacy of Oliver Dragojević, deeply woven into the collective consciousness and Dalmatian identity, continues to live on through numerous tributes and concerts that celebrate his indelible mark. One such evening, special in many ways, is being prepared in the heart of Kvarner. After a short postponement due to bad weather at the end of July, Novi Vinodolski proudly announces the musical spectacle "In Honor of Oliver," which will be held tomorrow, on Thursday, August 7th. This event promises to be much more than just a concert; it is an emotional journey through the most beautiful songs of the legendary sea wolf, at a location that is breathtakingly magical – the picturesque islet of San Marino.


All those who carry Oliver's songs in their hearts will have the opportunity to experience them in a completely new way, in symbiosis with the smell of salt, the sound of waves, and under an open, starry sky. It is this unique ambiance of the islet, which proudly rises from the sea in front of Novi Vinodolski, that will provide the perfect backdrop for an evening filled with nostalgia, memories, and that recognizable Mediterranean spirit that Oliver so masterfully conveyed through his music. For all visitors who decide to experience this unique evening, Novi Vinodolski offers an opportunity for an unforgettable summer vacation.


A unique stage surrounded by the sea


The islet of San Marino is not just a piece of land in the sea; it is a symbol of Novi Vinodolski and a place with deep historical and cultural significance. On it stands the Gothic church of the same name, a witness to the rich past of this region. It is this islet, illuminated by stage lighting, that will become the most beautiful possible stage on which memories of Oliver will come to life. Imagine the scene: music fills the air, while lights reflect on the calm surface of the sea, creating an atmosphere of intimacy and connection that is difficult to replicate in traditional concert venues. This event represents a rare opportunity to experience music in its primordial environment, where the verses about the sea, ships, and love feel most real.


The interpretation of Oliver's timeless melodies will be undertaken by the talented group Trend, a local band known for their energetic performances and their ability to convey true emotion to the audience. Their task will not be easy at all – to stand on stage and perform songs that have marked generations requires not only musical skill but also a deep respect for the original. With a selected repertoire, which will certainly include classics like "Cesarica," "Galeb," "Trag u beskraju," and many others, the group Trend will guide the audience through all the phases of Oliver's rich career, from his early festival successes to the mature ballads that made him a musical icon.


Organization and free transport for all visitors


To make this unique experience accessible to everyone, the organizers – the Tourist Board of the Town of Novi Vinodolski and the Town of Novi Vinodolski, with the valuable support of Mitan Marina – have ensured flawless logistics. The most important information for all interested parties is that admission to the concert and boat transport are completely free. This is a gesture to thank the audience and to allow as many people as possible to be part of this magical evening.


Boat transport will be organized from the small riva, located on the Dr. Franjo Tuđman Promenade. The boats will start sailing from 8:00 PM and will operate multiple times, thus ensuring that all visitors can arrive at the islet without stress or hurry and take their place. The official start of the music program is scheduled for 9:00 PM, when the first beats of Oliver's songs will mark the beginning of an evening to remember. The organizers invite everyone to come on time to fully immerse themselves in the atmosphere and prepare for the musical journey.


A special invitation to boaters: Be part of the floating audience


One of the special features of this concert is an open invitation to all boaters and boat owners to join the event from their vessels. By anchoring in the immediate vicinity of the islet of San Marino, boaters can create a unique "floating audience" and watch the concert from a unique perspective. This scene, with dozens of small boats gathered around the illuminated islet, will further contribute to the magic of the moment and create a visual backdrop that will be remembered for a long time. It is also a perfect way to pay tribute to Oliver, a man whose life was inextricably linked to the sea and ships. All those looking for the ideal place for a summer vacation, will find it right here in Novi Vinodolski, which offers a blend of tradition and modern amenities.


The indelible mark of the sea wolf


Oliver Dragojević was not just a singer; he was a chronicler of life, love, and Dalmatia. His raspy but warm voice became the soundtrack of growing up, first loves, happy and sad moments for millions of people across the region. His songs, imbued with sincere emotion and a simple philosophy of life, transcended the boundaries of genres and time. That is why, seven years after his passing, the memory of him does not fade. Concerts like this one in Novi Vinodolski are not just a commemoration, but a celebration of life and music that continues to touch the souls of new generations.


This musical evening is an opportunity for all of us, united by song, to once again bow to the great man and thank him for all the verses and melodies he left as a legacy. It is an evening where laughter will mix with tears, and memories will surface with every familiar chorus. In the heart of the summer season, while Novi Vinodolski is teeming with life, this event offers a moment of peace, introspection, and pure beauty, reminding us of the power of music to connect people and heal the soul. We invite you to come, sing your hearts out, and be part of another thunderous applause for the one and only Oliver Dragojević.
