A concert with old friends

Sabina was hostess and the main act at the concert, although she invited other guests who also performed. They were Anri Jokhadze of Georgia, Kurt Calleja of Malta and Željko Joksimović of Serbia. Sabina, Anri and Željko have actually known each other for over 10 years, having first met at a festival in which they all participated.
