President Zelensky: 'Our musicians wear body armor instead of tuxedos,' he said in a pre-recorded video at the Grammys. 'Fill the silence with your music! Fill it today. To tell our story. Tell the truth about the war on your social networks, on TV.'
““Fill the silence with your music! Fill it today. To tell our story. Tell the truth about the war on your social networks, on TV.””
He shot the video within the previous 48 hours from a bunker in Kyiv, Variety reported. And his speech was used to introduce John Legend’s performance of “Free,” which featured the music icon performing with Ukrainian musicians Mika Newton and Siuzanna Iglidan, as well as poet Lyuba Yakimchuk, who recently fled Ukraine.“Support us in any way you can. Any — but not silence,” said Zelensky, his voice raspy.“The war. What is more opposite to music? The silence of ruined cities and killed people.
“Our musicians wear body armor instead of tuxedos. They sing to the wounded. In hospitals. Even to those who can’t hear them. But the music will break through anyway.”
