I’m at work on expanding my vocal repertoire again and was searching for the lyrics to “Ribar Plete Mrižu Svoju.” It’s an exemplary Dalmatian song that was beautifuly committed to tape by Klapa Dalmacija some years ago. I couldn’t find a full mp3 of their rendition, sadly, but I did come across a video of [...]

This bouncy little number was recorded from Radio Cibona in Zagreb a couple of years ago, but I didn’t catch the artist or track name. Anyone know? I searched “proleteri” (from the chorus) and got nothing.

This song is oddly compelling. I happened upon it quite randomly in a Brazilian YouTube video of someone’s family pictures, and now I can’t get that mellow beat out of my head.

Safet Isović was a living legend of romantic Bosnian song until his demise in 2007, and I found that AFION’s “Slavuj” is derived from a national song that he recorded long ago. I haven’t yet found the original “Slavuj Ptica Mala,” but here’s a film of Isović singing, “Aj, kakve Ajka crne oči ima” (”Oh, [...]

It’s become necessary to give time to music again. I am sifting through the recordings of two years and opening a few new veins here in Portland. I estimate that between recordings made in St. Louis, Zagreb, Budapest, Marina and Portland, I probably have enough to put together a full-length Cenozoik release. Here’s a bit [...]

I trembled when I read of Tejano star Emilio Navaira’s tour bus crash and the injuries he’s sustained. My heart goes out to Emilio, his family, friends and fans.
