Frubals to whoever makes it through this song!

Zanfina Ismajli is kind of a Balkan Muslim stereotype. ;)

But the thing is, she's from Kosovo - and music in Kosovo is perhaps the most Eastern in style of any sort in the whole of the Balkans. It's raw, passionate - and when it's annoying, it's really annoying.

So, frubals to anyone who can sit through this entire song...

That's was interesting......Again I'm a huge fan of the folkish music in the background. The singing I could defintley do without. The outfits and the idea (from what I could understand from body language) was just as strange.

I don't speak Albanian but she's singing about the Partizans and Communists. Partizans were our Second World War resistence movement. They defeated the Nazis, the Soviets, and the Western allies - thus making Yugoslavia a non-allied state.

They eventually became communists. So this could be a pro-Partizan, anti-Communist song. It could be pro-both, it could be anti-both. It's probably, given the situation in Kosovo, a pro-Partizan and anti-Communist song.

Definitely nothing like I have heard before. I guess it would help if I could understand what the heck she was singing...

but I did make it all the way through the song Djamila. :)

That's a normal part of all music videos here, Crystal. Artists don't make a lot of money as they do in the United States - so they buy advertisements. A lot of the time they're actually worked into the video.

Why is that do you think (that they don't make as much)? Do you think the advertising is effective?

Well, our countries are much poorer and more corrupt than Western European and North American states. It's the same in our music industry.

Most artists sell their souls for a recording contract and only receive a fraction of the money they generate for their record label. Album sales are insignificant - most people simply buy pirated copies for around $1, which aren't hard to get. Every street, it seems, has an electronics store selling pirated CDs and DVDs.

So, most of their revenue comes from advertising. The more popular the band, the more advertisers they get and the better their image, music and music videos become. Artists advertise by placing the company's logo in their video, they don't actually do commercials.

Commercials in Bosnia are still what they were in the United States a decade or more ago - 90% or more the domain of models. Actresses and singers haven't replaced supermodels here as they have in the West, and no one really cares what Adnisa Hodzic from that drama show on OBN does to keep her skin nice - but everyone will listen if Miss Bosnia is selling something.

So that's how it goes.

In fact, come to think of it, I can't name more than 5 Bosnian actress whose real names I know? LOL Just their characters.

But I can list 100 models if I had to.

Really...that's interesting. Do you think the war had something to do with this and the communist block?

Hahaha, it's true. But she became famous because of her rear end, so it's no surprise. Her rear end is - by our flat-***ed standards, the equivalent of J'Lo in America. lol

Ok Mila. I made it through the "song"... although I did almost cut it at several points. Why is it that I feel like I am watching soft-porn video set to music nowadays when watching female vocalists? I am a bit perplexed what "Bumps and grinds" have to do with her political sentiments, but perhaps she was just excitable.

I think I am going to need a bit of therapy now with some tunes by Marliyn Manson and Tool.
