Macedonia Meets Montenegro In New Clip
So Aleksandra Bucevac is from Montenegro. Elena Petreska is from FYROM (Macedonia). They two ladies recently got together in Bitola, FYROM, to film this awesome video for their "Ne Ostavljam Trag" and I can't stop watching it today. The promo was directed by Dario Jankovic, who shoots like 1000 videos a year, or something (does he ever stop working?) but stands out because of the strong song, written by Hari Kotlarovski. No idea what they are singing about...all I know is I really want to party with these girls. Elena reveals in this story that the Macedonian version of this song will not get video because the Serbian language version of the video (seen below) would be more "effective" from a marketing perspective. Have a look at the clip below...fun video, good song.
Balkan Beats: Dado & Stojan's Ferrari Pop
Well what do we have here? Oh, just four of the biggest names going in the Balkans getting together to drive Ferraris. Dado Polumenta, Yankoo, DJ Mladja and MC Stojan all got together earlier this year to record "Ja Volim Balkan" and last month they released a video for the track. Sure, it's ridiculous, but so are most American rap videos, so why not pretend the Ferraris are theirs instead of rented? Once again, looks like this clip was partially financed by Swiss nightclub JIL, which hosts big Balkan music parties in Zurich. I wrote about Dado and Stojan several times before on this blog. Yankoo and Mladja are new to me. Good upbeat track below.
Dado: Bosnia's New Pimpin' Prince Of Pop
This guy Dado Polumenta is too much. I wrote about him once before, but he just released a new video and it's out of control. "Nije Od Karmina" shows the singer decked out in white (pimp suit, ladies, watch out!) while checking out the extras in the clip. But the thing is, this tune is actually much better than a lot of stuff coming out of Bosnia and Montenegro these days. The best part of this fresh-sounding track is the middle of the song, when, inexplicably, there's an electro-house breakdown that sounds straight out of a Benny Benassi track. Must hear (check the 1:56 mark).
Montenegro Mack: Meet Dado Polumenta
Thanks to a Europopped reader for sending in this clip by Montenegro's Dado Polumenta. The singer has several wild clips on You Tube, but this one for "Fali Mi Ljubav" from last year might be his best. What's up with the Michael Jackson reference? Also, is there a water shortage in Bijelo Polje, where he lives? Because that girl looks rather thirsty. Anyway, I like this song even if Google translate can't translate Bosnian just yet. Watch Dado do his thing while a lady makes love to a refrigerator below.
