The Palanga legend, Vitalija Katunskytė, takes a break: “The time comes when the body gives a signal” | Names

At the “Jūros akis” café on Jonas Basanavičiaus Street, Vitalija will perform this Friday night, July 3, for the last time before the break. V. Katunskytė 15 minutes He said that singing can return to Palanga in the last week of July, but it is still not certain. However, from August 1 to 8, it will definitely be possible to see it here, then it will return to Šiauliai again, and from August 22 to 30. I will sing again at this resort.

By the time Vitalija’s songs are at least not live in Palanga, the performer herself will continue to appear in various private performances in other cities, and for the rest of the time she will simply relax. It is true that the artist does not hide that he did not take such great breaks from Palanga before, but now he realized that he was not struggling with the passage of time.

“I feel tired, the years dictate it. No more 35 now, but 60 with a tail. While the friends laugh, they say that you will not say so much. I say yes, thank you, you will not say it, but the clock is ticking, chebryteHis back does not turn back, it is, as it is, necessary and for a little break from himself, he will not give up all the time.

Previously, in the summer, I was only in Palanga, but now I have decided not to reject other orders, people really wanted to do it, so it will be quite good to change the environment. Understand, it is difficult here every night without holidays, and where there are still weather conditions, humidity. Youth is no longer the first, but if you want to keep singing and entertain the audience, you need to protect yourself, ”said V. Katunskytė.

In the past, it was not spared

Vitaly admits that things used to look different before. She did not work for health or for hours. There was a time when they sang in Palanga not only in summer but also in September, so for four consecutive months without interruptions.

“It just came to our attention then. The next time I asked myself, I was thinking about where the girl had value and health. I will say frankly: I never looked at myself, I never hurt myself, there were no problems, I just drove, drove and I drove again.

I am one of those I have forgotten about. I used to work in Palanga somewhere, then I still run to the nightclub, where I work until twelve, then from two to four in the morning to another club, and the next day I also flew to Šventoji. That was my work schedule, cruel. Friends were amazed: they say that you are still pulling your legs, Jesus, Jesus “, – recalled Vitalija.

However, today the situation is different: it is difficult for V. Katunskyte to bear a heavy load. Her listeners also note that Vitalija needs to rest at concerts with flowers, gifts and, as the artist says, with great love.

“Yesterday I received guests from Vilkaviškis, the representatives of the motorcycle club came, they went to thank you, they said, we go a little to the concerts, but we arrived in Vitalija, thanks for the good humor, but when you work, do you at least take a break Because you know, I empathize for four hours and non-stop, I sing without rest. The next time people dance, I don’t think you’re going to take a break here, they’re so empathetic, they’re fine, it’s fun, that’s what I’m doing on vacation for. ” 15 minutes said the soul of Palanga.

Decided to “repair”

The Palanga legend does not hide that he has been suffering from health problems for many years: he has some problems with his spine and legs. However, they are optimistic about life and don’t over-emphasize them. According to her, the best medicine is laughter.

“You know, when a year has passed, it’s a little shaky in some places and it’s getting wet in the other, but, thank God, there aren’t any big problems, it’s even worse for others.” A little medicine improves, you pour any blister on your shoulder, if it is worse, you lie down as much as you can. A doctor to herself, Vitalija laughed. – I’m joking and everything is fine. The most important thing is to be positive, not give up. If we start to moan, it will be a signal to the body that everything is wrong. Nifiga. There is nothing wrong, just go ahead while your legs are still running, your heart beats to the beat. “

It is true that V. Katunskytė wants to give music to fans for a long time, therefore now he will improve his health not only with laughter, but also with rest. In July, until they perform in Palanga, they consider requesting a massage and pampering themselves with procedures.

“There comes a time when the body gives you a signal with a bell: girl, you stop a little, you massage yourself, you prepare. This is necessary for both young and old. Until the body rings the bells, you drive, you drive , but everything has a beginning and an end. Then, during those works, you can bend so much that, God forbid, you will end up in the hospital. I still really want to sing, everything is fine with the voice, you just need to exercise, look at your spine. As I say, they will not collect all the money, dear ones, although they would like it very much. There are limits, we must also love ourselves, and often forget it, “advises Vitalija.

He recalled a failed fan comment

V. Katunskytė even likes to joke about his health during concerts.

“It just came to our attention then rejectedI like rugs to post, and don’t hide, people see that Vitalija’s legs are tired. And I’m not afraid to make fun of it, I do shows, but sometimes people don’t understand: they think, not seriously, if the lover here really got those legs out. There are all kinds of people, not everyone understands humor, sometimes those compatriots are interesting, “said the artist.

Here, he mentioned the failed speech of a woman who bought his CDs, who assured that they will be remembered for life. The artist was after a recent second hip surgery.

“I went very hard on stage, almost on crutches, but since it was season, warm summer, I agreed to sing, I thought, somehow. That is what the woman says: Mrs. Vitalija, I see that you have something standing. Yes, I say , two months after the operation, I changed the hip joint, I will not do anything, it is necessary to repair it, such a life.

Then she realized: I look, sitting on a bar stool. Well, I mean, I’ve been bouncing for 40 years, maybe now I have the right to sing while sitting. Then he asked me if I knew the Russian singer Lyudmila Zykin. Sure, but am I saying what you’re doing here, or because we’re both fat? No, no, she says, I just want to say that she was also sitting in a bar chair before her death. ” V. Katunskytė recalled an unforgettable conversation.

He added that soon the woman herself realized what she had said and began to apologize. “But I’m not angry, I forgive everyone like God. The man simply did not think. And what is the rage here? We all came and we all have to go, “Vitalija smiled.

Both in Katunskytė and Šilanskas

However, although Vitalija has had a hard time walking lately, she is as energetic in her heart as she was, and is happy to share that energy with fans attending concerts.

“When people come, they know they will hear not only the songs, but also Vitalija bajerai, the humor that I shared here. That is what I like, I am not just a singer who sings, presents songs, says “good night” and “all the best”. I like and to postand stones thrown into the men’s garden. Clearly, inside my mind, so as not to offend. If I say something bigger, don’t get caught, but no base we met.

That’s what people say: we stayed at the Katunskytė concert and figuratively in Šilanskas. They are transported by them and I like my work, I work with pain, with love, respect for the spectator, only now I want to rest a little, “added Vitalija.

And when asked where that charisma comes from, an optimistic woman responds, by nature.

“It just came to our attention then. Young singers come to me and ask me how, Vitalija, to learn from you. I say this: children are loved, if it doesn’t come from nature, they won’t learn anything here. I don’t need papers or brochures , without preparation. I go on stage and everything, I immediately catch the audience, I turn as I want to the left, to the right, everyone faina, fun. Everything happens improvised and people like it. The viewer loved me, such a singer, and I must continue to be one, with humor ”, assured V. Katunskytė.
