The street musician, who received applause from Andy Garcia for performing the melody from the movie “The Godfather”, did not believe that the man sitting next to him was the Hollywood actor.
I hit myself on the head, I decided at the beginning that he was lying to me, street saxophonist Vladimir Iliev, better known as Dango, told bTV. He is from a family of musicians. He learned to play the popular tune from The Godfather in Spain, where he lived for more than 10 years.
He has been playing the clarinet since the age of 16, and more recently the saxophone. Every day he travels tens of kilometers to reach Sofia and play on the street. So he and his son earn a living for the family.
A few days ago, while playing the popular tune, he did not even suspect that his listener was Andy Garcia – the actor who plays the last godfather of the cult film trilogy. “I play, the man is coming, I don’t know him. Comes with an interpreter. I didn’t know who he was, and when the translator told me, I hit my head. I decided at the beginning that he was lying to me, “Dango said.
He says that the choice of melody and the meeting with Andy Garcia was completely accidental. The man sat next to me, hugged me. I was embarrassed, ashamed. Take out BGN 100 and leave it to me. Then he left another 10 euros in my suitcase, “Dango said.
Dango says that he will remember this meeting while he is alive and will tell about it to his granddaughter, who is still 5, but already dreams of playing the violin.
