This is a cover, I believe. Can't remember who did the previous version though. There are alot of pop-folk folk songs with a similar sound though to this. :)



Finally figured this out. It is a reworking of Tea Tairovic's "Daj Daj".



It is possible that "Daj Daj" is a cover as well. Tea writes and produces alot of her own material though. So maybe not.

Turbo-folk appreciation. I am not a Balkanite myself, but I really do adore the music that came from this part of the world during this time.





In my opinion most people like to meme this rather than SERIOUSLY listen to this music. I myself am an alternative/metal guy, like music of most genres, but can still listen to all these Balkans patriotic and war songs and feel hyped, wanting to hold an AK in my hand lol.

In all seriousness though, they will never make them like this again, it lifts your spirits up whether you are young or old, or somewhere in between.

Thanks for your contribution, Bartek.

My knowledge of Turbo-folk and its origins is pretty limited. So I appreciate the education, and your take on it above.

No worries. I saw a Balkans thread, so I just really had to give my two cents. :beerchug:
The genre is quite the rabbit-hole, all the different nations and perspectives that contributed to the whole, it's really fascinating for me.
Certainly not for everyone but I believe it's a worthwhile exploration. :)

Well, there is good music from the Balkans, and also some not so good... like everywhere else. :) I genuinely like alot of the artists and music posted here though. And wish I could do a better job of representing more of the music and genres of this region. There are alot of converging influences in the Balkans though, which keep the music reasonably fresh and interesting to me. And also many younger artists who bring new flava to the scene... It's just sort of fun.

A similar thing seems to be occurring in latin music as well, where there are elements of north american, caribbean, mexican, and south american styles blending together in some fairly interesting ways.
