Eugen Doga: Chisinau's anthem can be rerecorded with other singers if Sofia Rotaru is against
Composer Eugen Doga will personally contact Sofia Rotaru to ask her to rerecord the anthem of Chisinau. “It is preferable that the anthem is sung by Sofia Rotaru because she is already a symbol. We will see if she accepts. It is 40 years since she sang the song the first time,” Eugen Doga told a news conference. He stressed that if Sofia Rotaru rejects their offer, other singers may be invited to record the anthem, Info-Prim Neo reports.
According to Eugen Doga, no matter who sings the anthem, it will have a new arrangement. The words and melody will remain the same. “The city deserves to have an anthem,” said the composer.
The proposal to rerecord Chisinau's anthem was put forward by Mayor Dorin Chirtoaca on the occasion of the 575th anniversary of the foundation of the city. The City Hall discussed the issue with Sofia Rotaru's producer and is waiting for an answer from the singer.
