Andrus Takindang and several other musicians in the band “Recha” were detained after playing at a yard gathering in Minsk and later sentenced to 15 days of administrative arrest. The concert was part of the "courtyard movements" in Minsk, during which the band played over 60 open concerts in the fall of 2020. After they were released, Takindang described the detention as a small price to pay for the joy their music brings to others.
