Saturday afternoon, starting from 3 p.m, almost 2500 people from Suceava sang and danced together with the Azur band from Braila.
This special gift of the City Hall from Suceava also inaugurated a new place where cultural-artistic activities dedicated to the Burdujeni headquarters will unfold - the stage in front of the Burdujeni market.
On Saturday afternoon there was a lot of fun in Burdujeni. The mayor Ion Lungu made the people there, and not only, a special present on the occasion of “Constantine and Elena�’s day celebration: after 15 years, the Azur band from Braila, who managed to gather thousands of people at their concerts in the past, came to Suceava. One can very rarely see a band that sings live for 2 hours and a half and that gathers all together over 2500 children, youngsters and elderly people who knew and sang their famous songs. The 4 members of the band were the delight of the public, together with the leader of the band, the well known singer Nelu Vlad.
This present also comprised the inauguration of a new place for unfolding cultural-artistic event dedicated to the people from Burdujeni, the plateau in front of the Burdujeni market. Turning a field, as it used to be before, in a stage for concerts, in just a few days, and bringing “one of the best sound equipments I ever had� as Nelu Vlad himself said after the concert, managing to bring together people of all ages and, above all, managing to make them have fun, is not so easy to achieve. Some people have for these “successes� ingredients of thousands of euro, with famous bands from the Romanian showbiz. But the real recipe for success is what this event meant and achieved. And the ones who managed to bring joy on Saturday in Burdujeni are: the Ana Foundation, the Juventus Association, Disco System and Promo Bucovina Image, together with the City Hall from Suceava. A special help was given by the sponsors: SC Fetcom SRL, Metal Dor Salcea, Farestin Pizza and Teacher Line Salcea.

I was capable of running away from home, just to hear themâ€�, confesses one of the spectators, Daniel Gondor. “I heard about them from my folks.
