My guitarist decided to join me in doing this weeks OpenMic. That way i was able to create something more violin intensive, with a smaller vocal part. This is a Medley of our own imagination. The part all of you will recognize instantly is the Pulp Fiction theme from the 1994 movie of the same name, directed by Quentin Tarantino.
The second part, that is dominant throughout the song is a traditional Macedonian #folk song called "Jovano Jovanke". I couldn't find its origins but the first studio recorded rendition, according to wikipedia, was done in 1946 by Aleksandar Sarievski.
The song is absolutely beautiful and really tugs on the heartstrings. Whatever ethnicity, cultural background, nationality you might be it really doesn't matter. Its hard to stay indifferent.
This is what the Balkans sound like.
To my friends from the Balkans this song doesn't really need any introduction, so you can just go ahead and skip to the end. 😇
I really hope i do the song justice and that you guys enjoy it. Consider it a introduction into musical tradition of a culture very similar or maybe quite different then your own.
And as always thanks to all my supporters here. You guys know who you are. 💗 💗 💗
