Hi! Mimi: Where's the other Karizma band from in that case? There's one in Serbia and one duo in Bulgaria.....

I meant the Bulgarians

[jandros]

Hope at least one of these songs will pass muster as "Balkan" because I adore this lady and especially these two songs ... I "stole" the second video from feuersteve in another thread ...

Born in Ukraine, very close to the border with Moldova ...

[amaryn]

from Zagreb comes this band: Prjlavo Kazaliste

One of the most famous rockbands around in Bosnia: Bijelo Dugme

Excerpts from Wikipedia:

Four battles were fought between the Russian Empire, aided by Bulgarian volunteers known as Opalchentsi, and the Ottoman Empire for control over the crucial Shipka Pass during the Russo-Turkish War (1877–1878).

In July, 1877 four Russian corps had crossed the Danube River and were moving into Bulgaria. To precede the main Russian army Joseph Vladimirovich Gourko led a detachment to capture the vital Balkan Mountain passes.

2nd Battle
August 23, the Ottoman forces attacked all Russian positions with the main effort again at St. Nicholas where most of the defenders were Bulgarian volunteers.

On the 26th, an Ottoman attack on St. Nicholas reached the Russian trenches but was repulsed again by a Bulgarian bayonet charge.

Third Battle
General Fyodor Radetzky, now commanding the defenses, brought up reinforcements and a Russian counterattack drove the Ottoman forces from all captured ground.

The Fourth Battle of Shipka Pass from January 5–9 was the final battle for Shipka Pass and a crushing Ottoman defeat.

Today the Shipka Pass is in the Bulgarka Nature Park and is home to a monument commemorating those who died in the battle.

Let me see about this one: another "masterpiece of Bosnian based Crvena Jabuka: Bjezi kiso s prozora

[amaryn]

bjezi kiso s prozora:

RAIN GO AWAY

Outside it's raining, raindrops are falling on my window
and I'm all alone at home
sitting, crying, grieving,
don't know what to do with myself

rain, disappear from my window,
if you weren't falling I'd be kissing my dear!

The rain spoke to her
girl sit at home
cause he isn't for you
he's now with another girl

rain you're lying
my love isn't cheating me
I'm his dearest
rain, disappear from my window

CRVEBA JABUKA

Let me see about this one: another "masterpiece of Bosnian based Crvena Jabuka: Bjezi kiso s prozora

CRVENA JABUKA BEZI KISO S PROZORA LYRICS

Pada kiša na polju
kaplje mi po prozoru
a ja sama kod kuće
sjedim, plačem, tugujem
ne znam šta ću od sebe

Bježi kišo s prozora
bježi kišo s prozora
Da te nije sad bih ja
svoga dragog ljubila
Bježi kišo s prozora

Kiša joj govorila
kiša joj govorila
Sjedi curo kod kuće
sjedi curo kod kuće
Jer on nije za tebe
on je sada kod druge

Ti si kišo lažljiva
ti si kišo lažljiva
mene dragi ne vara
ja sam njemu najdraža.
