Listening to Balkan Music - Part 9!

[@natasha.r.m]

TRANSLATION: "Ti si mi u krvi" literally means "you are in my blood", but an English person would say something like "you're running through my veins", instead. Edit: added 'instead' in the end for clarity.

[@rockerma1987]

Try with Bijelo Dugme, Lipe Cvatu or Đurđevdan, that is more like folk rock or some people call it, literally translated, shepherd rock. 😁 Also, other mainstream rock bands from ex-Yu era are Azra, Idoli, Partibrejkers, Riblja Čorba, Haustor, Leb i Sol (macedonian band with one of best guitarists in the world, Vlatko Stefanovsko), Prljavo Kazalište, Parni Valjak (more on the pop side, but older songa are more rock), Atomsko Sklonište, Yu grupa, Zabranjeno Pušenje,...

[@dragana2245]

Even to me, from the Balkans, it sounds weird when music genre rock, folk, pop and modern crap gets mixed. Would be more pleasant on the ear to keep the list in one music genre then move to the next. You are awesome, fun to watch.

[@Pottergirl-n9n]

Bijelo dugme-lipe cvatu or đurđevdan Parni valjak-zastave Haustor-Ena Divlje jagode-krivo je more Divlje jagode-motori Crvena jabuka-za sve ove godine Dubioza kolektiv-kažu

[@jovannikolic4270]

Bijelo dugme - Lipe cvatu, Crvena jabuka - Dirlija and Valentino - Oka tvoja dva. All three songs are in the Ex Yugoslavian pop rock music genre and that's my hearty suggestion...🎸🎶♥️🔥

[@vickoslavkovic2593]

Kakav čobanski izbor.

[@peterthegreat6385]

You pronounced Ceca Sisa,which means Boob,that was very funny lol

[@EmmaAGould]

hahahahaa! oh thats hilarious

[@nenamajstorovic2990]

😂😂😂😂I am dying😂😂😂

[@dejanstanojevic6484]

Smak is one of the biggest rock bands in the former Yugoslavia. Guitarist R.M. Točak is an excellent guitarist and musician. There are many more great songs by this band. I would recommend the band Yu grupa ( Od zlata jabuka, Crni leptir, Mornar). Kerber, Galija, Partibrejkers (Hoću da znam, Kreni prema meni), Osvajači (Krv i led, S kim čekaš dan, Možda nebo zna (balad), Orthodox Celts (Irish folk bend, very good).

[@ljubaceranic937]

For Smak (studio version was better btw), listen to Crna Dama. They also did a version in english but personally i find the serbian one better sounding. Fun fact, they were opening for Deep Purple when they had concerts in this region.

[@ivkasuic4474]

You should really hear - Lipe cvatu ( Lindens are blossoming ) - Bijelo Dugme .Recomendattion.

[@videoizazov]

Videosex - Detektivska priča 😉 Ceca - Maskarada EKV - Krug ...that last one is your taste for sure, the first two I wonder what will your reaction be... first one is new wave 80s and 2nd one is ballad from the 90s

[@kosmicheskiprah]

Will you consider reacting to the Bulgarian female choir Balkan songs?

[@veliborilic981]

Oči moje lijepe, slatka si ko med, samo snimaj nove klipove da te gledamo i uživamo u tvojim reakcijama. I hope you translate this right,from the bottom of my heart. ONLY ROCK'N'ROLL❤🤩😘

[@EmmaAGould]

Thank you so very much ❤️❤️❤️ that’s so wonderful of you to say

[@betimaljkovic8230]

Baš je

[@tomislavkosanovic1104]

Certified greatness (off the top of my head): Luminize - 'Zašto Još Volim Te' ft. Marin Jurić-Čivro Stijene - 'Ima jedan svijet' Haustor - 'Ena' By the way, congrats on 'Ti si mi u krvi' pronunciation, that 'krvi' was awesome for a native English speaker, well done.

[@zlatkojovicic6133]

Here's a very eclectic mix: Josipa Lisac - Gdje Dunav ljubi nebo (pop) Dubioza kolektiv - Kaži (ska mainly) Generacija 5 - Najjači ostaju (hard rock, good riff) Oliver Dragojević - Što to biješe ljubav (Dalmatian pop) Senidah - Mišići (trap)

[@B0r1s4312]

I love your videos. And your reactions 😊. Listen to EKV they were ahed of its time. Maybe song Krug.

[@kristijanEX]

Recommendations from my playlist : 1. Toše Proeski - Ako me pogledaš u oči (you've done 2 vids with him in it, but not this classic hit) 2. Jole - Remek djelo (great example of 2010s Croatian party music) 3. Crvena Jabuka - Za sve ove godine (this song always had a Christmas vibe to me) 4. Doris Dragović - Opilo me vino (you haven't reacted to her yet and she's amazing, she also had the best Croatian ESC entry in 1998) 5. Divlje Jagode - Šampioni (a good example of Yugoslavia's hard rock/metal scene) 6. Jacques Houdek - Na krilima ljubavi (a fun 2000s pop song) 7. Zana - Dodirni mi kolena (an iconic 80s Serbian song) 8. Bijelo Dugme - U vrijeme otkazanih letova (probably my favorite song from my favorite band of all time) 9. Oliver Dragojević i Boris Dvornik - Nadalina (a fun folk song about the story of a girl named Nadalina) 10. Meri Cetinić i Tomislav Ivčić - Gorka Rijeka (a melancholy Dalmatian song about nostalgia) 11. Daleka Obala - Četrnaest palmi (a must have for a coastal car ride with the radio blasting) 12. Novi fosili - Boby No 1 (a very famous band in the 70s and 80s that made a lot of hits so it was hard to narow it down to one) 13. Gibonni - Dvije duše (one of the best post war Croatian musicians and one of his finest songs) 14. Merlin - Ne budi me Seno (another one that released way too many hits for me to narrow it down, probably my favorite Bosnian solo act) It was very hard to narrow it down to 14 songs and I could have given like 100+ more recommendations, you really need to react to these songs though. I'm waiting for part 72 !!!

[@TeodorZaric-tt9it]

Since you seem to have a faible for YU-Rock Music you should try: Parni Valjak - zastave Bajaga - Tisina Prljavo kazaliste - tu noc kad si se udavala Ribja corba - kad hodas Ribja corba - kada padne noc Generacija 5 - dolazim za 5 minuta Sunny greetings from Balkanian Coastside

[@drivanribar]

Oh come on now, if u gonna live in the Balkans, you simply have to get familiar with the works of Lepa Brena (that's a person, not a band, btw). That's a living legend right there.

Sisa (Soda) means a boob, C (c - the sound you used to put at the end of every surname, and now you've learned that it is a different sound) Ceca is a shorter version of her real name.

If you like a bit of modern surf rock from 90s listen to Bambi Molesters

[@EmmaAGould]

what an amazing name haha

[@alenfranjic3124]

@@EmmaAGould their music is also amazing, they played instrumental rock but it was a vibe🙂. Quite often they opened for R.E.M. in concerts... their most popular song was As the Dark Wave Swells

[@BJovke]

"Hajde da se volimo" - overwhelmingly teenage pop, high quality production.

[@mladjoc4657]

In slang, SMAK literally means "World's End". One of the best ExYu RNR groups! Listen to their songs „Zajdi, zajdi“, "Ulazak u harem", "Profesore", "El Duomo", "Satelit".... Radomir Mihajlović Točak is one of the world's best guitarists! If not the best! I won't exaggerate if I say in the level of Jimmie Hendrix and Jimmy Page

Lepa Brena invented turbo folk. The joke's on all of us. She's brilliant! She is so important for the history of ex-YU music: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lepa_Brena

[@zlatkojovicic6133]

Ceca is pronounced "tsetsa" Daire, the version you listened to is a little too slow. I think it's not the original version. "Ti si mi u krvi" means "You're in my blood"

[@marcusgaius]

It's not the original version of Daire, it's live/jammy performance with Najda. She should definitely hear the original, or a live version back in the day with Boris.

[@goranradojcic5917]

[@tatitastraja2293]

Dear Emma, commenting about Balkan music does not include only Croatia, Bosnia and Serbia. The best production music coming out of Balkans is made in the Republic of Kosovo and Albania. Pls check out the following artists: Bojken Lako, Gjurmet, Lindja, Jericho, Retrovizorja, Por-no, Cute Babulja, Humus, Asgje Sikur Dielli, Era Istrefi (Bombon), Kida, Elvana Gjata and hundreds of other quality artists. Btw, you can start with Rita Ora, Dua Lipa, Bebe Rexha and Ava Max who are also Albanian coming from the very same Balkans that you are commenting in your posts. All the best.

Balkans do not exist, it is a political term, there are only states, which culturally, religiously, linguistically, genetically, drastically differ, such as Turkey, Greece, Romania, Bulgaria, Albania, Macedonia, Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Balkans are the same as saying the southern part of the globe, it means nothing.
