Beki Bekić Remembers Marinko Rokvić While Supporting His Son Nikola

Beki Bekić joined other familiar faces at an important event for singer Nikola Rokvić, offering encouragement to the son of his late friend Marinko. The gathering brought together people close to the family, and Beki’s memories of Marinko gave the occasion a personal note. “I’ve known Nikola since he was a child, and he chose the right path through his style and behaviour,” Beki said, according to the report. He added that Nikola deserved the support and praised his songs, while describing Marinko as someone who was missed first as a friend and a person, and then as a performer. Beki also reflected on the late singer’s influence, saying Marinko had contributed greatly to the music scene and that younger performers had learned from him. In his view, building a career like Marinko’s was a difficult achievement. Singer Ana Bekuta was also there to support Nikola. She spoke warmly of the Rokvić family and recalled touring Australia with Marinko in 2003. Bekuta said the trip gave them time to talk and grow closer, and she praised Nikola’s refined manner, which she felt recalled both his father and his mother, Slavica. Bekuta also noted the challenge of establishing an identity when a parent is already famous. She said Nikola had gained the audience’s support early through his songs, but that comparisons with a well-known father can make a musical career harder to build. Ilda Šaulić, another guest, was also mentioned among those who came to support Nikola, drawing a parallel between their paths as children of celebrated singers.
