Silvi Bend open second season of Ikon Show on David Davidovski's channel

David Davidovski kicked off the second season of his programme Ikon Show on his YouTube channel David Davidovski with the veteran group Silvi Bend as the season's first guests.

The evening mixed music with intimate conversation: David Davidovski welcomed the band with visible respect, and Silvi Bend returned praise for the presenter and the relaxed atmosphere of the recording.

Between interviews, the audience heard a string of the group's hits and evergreen songs that turned the episode into a concert-like experience.

Personal stories and family memories

Silvi spoke openly about her Roma background, the prejudices she faced as a young woman and moments when she was humiliated because she is Roma. She also discussed her relationship with her mother-in-law and addressed whether she had been accepted into the family from the start. Silvi described her life with Vlatko, a love that has lasted nearly 40 years, and talked about their daughter and granddaughter. She also recounted that her daughter studied in Amsterdam and the high costs and challenges that came with studying abroad.

Vlatko, for his part, spoke publicly for the first time about the death of Vlado Janevski, who died after a battle with cancer. He said he has great trust in Ivan Iscelitel and stated that he personally took ten people with cancer to him, claiming they were cured.

During the episode the band announced a major concert scheduled for October 13 at the Macedonian Opera and Ballet, starting at 20:00. The broadcast served to open Ikon Show's second season with guests whose music spans generations, and the programme again presented itself as a place where public figures speak candidly and without restraint.
