Thank you, Scissorman and adidass, for sharing some songs from former Yugoslavia!
Scissorman, I liked the Serbian ethnic music with Sanja & Balkanika, which had the nice violin solo--very pretty. I wondered whether it sounds "Serbian" to you...I couldn't hear any particular sound that would make me think of Serbia, perhaps because I haven't heard a lot of Serbian music!
The song I especially liked of those you posted is
"Misreality" by Vroom. You weren't sure how to classify it. I might call it "alternative jazzy folk rock rap!"
The lyrics are a little thought-provoking and critical, which I like.
adidass, the first three songs you posted, resulting from a collaboration between Zdenko Runjić and Oliver Dragojević, have a romantic muzak sound to me.
My favorite is your final video of the peppier song
"Projav" by LVKY & Oliver. I'm guessing it is about a man remembering his (lost) romantic partner or relationship...which I assume didn't end so well due to the burned out car. My, it looks like the Mohawk is back, bigtime, in this video! That made me smile. Are those cypress trees in the video? The countryside reminds me of Italy, and the apartments remind me of East Germany.
