Two guys with a trumpet and one with a drum went from building to building as people came to their windows, throwing money at the musicians, singing, but also had musical requests.

During the state of emergency when gatherings and celebrations are banned, musicians who have lost their main source of income figured out a way to entertain people and earn money, because as they themselves told us, they have to earn a living.

"We planned to make people happy a little bit, it's a crisis, to keep people from being sad... You have to earn a living, to work, you see what the situation's like. People tell us: 'Play', 'Bravo, guys...," trumpeter Igor Durmisevic told us.

The trumpeters wore gloves, while due to the nature of the instrument they did not wear masks - while the drummer did - but because of his instrument, he couldn't wear gloves.
