B.U.G. Mafia - Mugur Varzariu

La cateva zile dupa asta eram deja alaturi de Tataee (Vlad), la el acasa pe soseaua Dobroiesti. El se ocupa de toata partea administrativa a trupei, de la contracte, transport, cazare, carat si instalat echipament pana la detalii marunte precum bannerul cu BUG Mafia pentru masa DJ-ului. E motorul neobosit al trupei. De la el de-acasa am plecat pe soseaua Pantelimon, ca sa-i luam pe Uzzi (Alin) si pe Caddy (Dragos).

Mama soacra a ultimului dintre ei si-a luat la revedere si le-a urat baietilor drum bun spre Pitesti, unde aveau concert. I-am intrebat daca o sa cante si piesa mea favorita, Cu talpile arse, dar mi-au zis ca e cam dificil de abordat melodia asta in concert, ceea ce m-a cam intristat.

Desi am tocit multe casete cu muzica lor, i-am auzit pentru prima data pe viu abia la proba de sunet, unde m-am trezit dansand in timp ce trageam cadrele. Dupa probe ne-am dus la hotel si cred ca si Jim Morrison ar fi avut ceva de invatat din felul in care se distreaza baietii. Concertul a inceput pe la unu noaptea.

Munceam constiincios cand, in pauza dintre doua melodii l-am auzi pe Caddy rapaind versurile de la Cu talpile arse. Imediat i s-a alaturat si Tataee. Credeam ca visez, dar la final Caddy a spus: “Asta e pentru fotografu’, special”. Omul e painea lui Dumnezeu.

Pe la trei ne-am intors la hotel. Eram rupt de oboseala, dar baietii inca aveau chef de glume. Uzzi ne-a spus o poveste despre bunicul lui, pe care il ingrijeste. La un moment dat un medic l-a intrebat daca a baut ceva, iar bunicul mucalit i-a raspuns: “Ce sa beau doamna, ca nu imi dati voie”. Femeia contrariata s-a uitat atent la el: “Ma refer la apa”. Uzzi, intruchiparea coolness-ului, este durul cu suflet de aur.

Am plecat acasa o ora mai tarziu. A doua zi a urmat Braila. Nu stiu daca am apucat sa dorm doua ore din 48, dar a meritat, iar la scurt timp dupa am mers cu ei la concertul cu Loredana de la Sala Palatului.

Uniti, prieteni, fara figuri, baietii BUG sunt ceea ce canta. Asa i-am cunoscut eu pe „mafioti” si aceste imagini sunt cateva crampeie din timpul petrecut impreuna.
