Macedonian Flagship Tune

[Coolski]

i think the instrumental songs without words are probably the most suitable and versatile, as they are sounds in their purest form, without the need for words to explain extra meanings.

i also agree that 7:8 time signature is probably an important element and a huge part of our music's uniqueness. I have an absolutely huge collection of ora on my home computer that I got off my tambura teacher, so i'll sift through them and come back.

Basically i'm imagining a few scenarios where such a song would be used:


1. 3rd party tourism shows, where they need a "classic" macedonian song and they automatically think of this song.

2. A morning show where they're going to a commercial break and announcing that when they come back, someone will be making Macedonian food, with this song as on top of that audio.

3. An ad on radio for a Macedonian restaurant that just opened up on your local restaurant strip

4. A parody where they make fun of different european nations, and for Macedonia they automatically think of this song because it triggers Macedonia in viewer's minds.

Yes, an oro would probably be best!

Victor, what's your definition of 'slavic' when referring to 'other slavic countries'?

In this context, I'm referring to linguistics.

Maybe we could get this guy to do a rendition for us:

Of course you would post a Serbian rendition of a Macedonian song. I wouldn't expect anything less from a Serb-culture enthusiast.

Your hidden agenda is slowly beginning to surface.

[Orovnichanec]

I like the idea, maybe slightly modernize the tune a bit.

Something similar to this(not to this extent tho): It's Sar Planina by Verce i Beni at Etno Fest.

Are you? How's that? The context of the thread is culture (and music specifically), not language.

Vangelovski's agenda is abundantly clear.
You still can't explain why you don't like the OFA but like the rights afforded to the ethnic Albanians under the Badinter principle. Who has the agenda?

What Serbian rendition? This is an Asian guy with a bad Macedonian accent singing a Macedonian song. It would take a Srboman like yourself to immediately assume its somehow connected to Serbian culture.

I guess you know so little about the Macedonian culture that you don't even know the difference between the Macedonian rendition and the Serbian rendition.

Vangelovski's agenda is abundantly clear.
You still can't explain why you don't like the OFA but like the rights afforded to the ethnic Albanians under the Badinter principle. Who has the agenda?

And you still can't explain what the MTO does aside from posting things on a forum and belittling other Macedonians.

And in order to sing a song, you need language. You cannot separate the language from the music.
