This seems to be getting lost on the Music thread, so we’re reposting it here.
Here’s what UP (a.k.a. Karin) says about it:
This is Niska Banja, a Croatian song. The bug/prim player/other singer is my friend Angela.
Verses:
Niska Banja-both singers
Croatian 10-Angela
Spanish 10-Both
Russian 10-Karin (UP)
Niska Banja- Both
Many different versions of the lyrics exist, and translations are easy to find online. Basically, it’s about the wild times young men have at a Serbian hot-springs resort called Niska Banja (pronounced “Neeshka Bahnya”) — drinking, dancing, wenching, the usual guy stuff.
That is really good! It sounds really hard to sing and play too. I looked up the lyrics and somoe of those words look reeeeeeealy hard to pronounce. How does one pronouce zgoda?
Thank you GAPAs!
It is pronounced exactly how it looks. (ok, skow-dah, where “skow” is like “snow”)
The pronunciation isn’t too hard. I basically had to relearn how to sing in one night to do this. :] I kept singing too high and hesitating at the beginning of beats so it took a while to get a good recording.
Of course, Angela plays wonderfully and always sings on key.
The bogaria and the prim are so hard. She plays both of them, and the bass, and piano. The prim is the really high one. The bug always plays on the off-beats.
This is great, very cute! Thanks for sharing.
I’m sure it’s really good, but I can’t get it to play…
