The event was dedicated to the victims of the Holocaust and carries a strong message: memory is not the past, but the responsibility to prevent hatred and war. Representatives of German institutions emphasized the importance of the culture of remembrance and its transmission to young generations. Music has become a bridge between peoples and a reminder that forgetting leads to repetition.

In an exclusive interview for the first Roma internet television, ROMEA TV, she shared her impressions of the concert and her personal relationship to the celebrations of the Roma identity.

During the evening, Zea sang her own compositions as well as traditional Roma songs that have a deeper meaning for her. She sings in English, Slovak and Romani – each language has a different charm for her. “The most natural thing for me is to sing in English. But with Slovak and Romani, I see that people understand it more, it is more personal,” said the artist. However, she admits that writing lyrics in Slovak gives her more work: “I want the text to have a nice meaning, I don’t want anything quick and easy. I am not that good a lyricist, I have to admit that.”
