Baja Mali Knindža  održao koncert na Tašu

Ovo je vrh moje karijere, nema dalje! Nešto u tom stilu poručio je novinarima  pred izalzak na scenu Baja Mali Knindža koji je sinoć nastupio pred prepunim Tašem. Počeo je koncert sa pesmom “Pevaj Srbijo” (Pevaj Srbijo, zemljo junaka, Pevaj Srbijo, zemljo bitaka, pevaj Srbijo, silnije, jače, pevaj Srbijo, kad ti se plače), a zatim nastavio da niže pesme, koje je publika horski pevala sa njim uz uzdignute ruke i aplauze. Na repertoaru je bilo 50 pesama. „I sve su to moje autorske pesme, ima možda dve koje nisu, ali su od mog brata“, rekao je Baja za medije dodajući da nije planirao da peva „Raču“, „Danijelu“ i neke druge pesme s kojima je krčio (treba li reći ’uspešno’) autorski i pevački put.

Ali zato su se čule “Stari bagrem", "Tamara", “Prepelice", "Volela me kao druga", "Samo je moj stari znao" i mnoge druge pesme koje je izveo u odličnoj atmosferi. Prolomio se Tašmajdan od oduševljenja kada je uz pratnju trubača zapevao "Morem plovi jedna mala barka"... U susretu sa novinarima, a i tokom koncerta prisetio se Baja da je pre 30 godina pevao na istom mestu kao gost na koncertu “Riblje čorbe”. Družio se, kaže, sa Borom Đorđevićem za kafanskim stolom i na salvetama beležio pesme: “Ja mu kažem ‘Al sam sinoć kitio trubače’, a on odmah doda: ’da duvaju u trube što jače’. Tako je nastala i ’Celu noć i celi dan, svirajte mi Đurđevdan’“. Na pitanje od najdražoj pesmi iz njegove karijere rekao je da je to „Božić je“ jer ga ona asocira na njegovu babu Smilju koju je voleo najviše.

Na koncertu na Tašu bilo je i poznatih javnih ličnosti kao što su narodni poslanik Vladimir Đukanović, predsednik „Srpske desnice“ Miša Vacić, predsednik Slobodne Crne Gore Vladislav Dajković... Lepi Mića je sedeo za stolom sa Tamarom Đurić, a tu je bio i njen bivši dečko Dejan Palić Makarona. Negde na oko polovine koncerta u VIP zoni pojavio se i direktor RTS-a Dragan Bujošević i počeo da uživa u koncertu zajedno sa dvojicom mlađih novinara RTS-a koji se nisu ustručavali da stojeći pored šefa i glasno zapevaju i podignu ruke.

My 25% Albanian heritage cries.

I LITERALLY CHOCKED LAUGHING. This is like the first thing that genuinely makes me laugh like in three or four days 😹

If I ever start a band, it's going to be a turbodoomfolk band named Rakija Aeturnus. I hope Pavel and @mournfulabyss are ready for this 😅

I totally need Baja Mali Knindža to go turbodoomfolk now.

I was criticizing people who hate turbofolk for its melodic aesthetics that people project orientalist racist feelings onto; I was criticizing people who hate it just because it sounds like Romani and Turkish music. This is something I have noticed in my personal life, that people who do not like folk/turbofolk music more often dislike it for its aesthetic rather than its political content. Often people talk about the trill, the arabic scales, trumpets and accordions with disdain as their focus of criticism of the genre rather than its political content. Saying that the music is 'not sophisticated' is an invalid criticism of the genre, while saying that Ceca and Baja Mali Knindža and the anti-muslim and anti-Croat content are deplorable is valid criticism. This is something I address in the original post as well?

Where I think the misunderstanding comes from is the fact that I was not talking about turbo folk as just the 90s war songs as it originally came to be, but also the music that was recorded much later that has similar melodic styles (Seka Aleksić, Goga Sekulić or Selma Bajrami for example). What I should have clarified better is that I grouped pop-folk and turbofolk together as a single genre, as sometimes they cannot be quite clearly delineated and their distinction is sometimes quite arbitrary. However, had you read what I wrote, you would have understood that, as I mentioned a couple of artists in the og post to talk about my point that were not clearly in the turbofolk group.

I also explicitly condemned the war songs of the 90s (once as a general talking point and once namecalling Ceca for what she is); I don't understand why you attacked me in the notes. I have grown very tired of people on tumblr just attacking me and other posters because they argue with points the original posts don't even make in the first place. This post was not about the people who deny that turbofolk has an undeniably awful history, but people who dislike musical elements because of white supremacist notions of what 'proper' music is. People who listen to Taylor Swift but feel disgust when listening to Jelena Karleuša's earlier music, despite the fact that the musical talent of the two is about the same.

Just sit down and read what I wrote more carefully. If you still find issues with what I said, I would appreciate it if you'd point to what it was that was wrong about what I said so I can promptly apologize to you and to anyone else reading this post.

it rubs me the wrong way when certain people have a negative stance towards turbo folk music... don't get me wrong, it's pretty bad with its glorification of wealth, violence, (and in the past, even war crimes), opulence, misogyny, drug abuse and so on, but a) it's a genre that encompasses a fuckton of songs and a lot of them don't have any of these issues, and b) i can't brush off the feeling that the disdain and elitism towards it stem from white supremacy. while a huge portion of turbo folk artists are white (although Rroma singers such as Džej, Zorica Brunclik or Ljuba Aličić are/were rather prominent in the genre and defined the genre in many ways), the melodies themselves aren't really, as they borrowed from Turkish, Arabic and Rroma traditional music (the Slavic element is a minor factor here). many people refer to Balkan turbo folk music as "radio Tehran", in a derogatory fashion, being blatantly racist. such statements are often uttered by people who love to pretend they are hippies and oh-so-very progressive.

turbo folk music has a terrible history, tied to the Yugoslav war which absolutely should be scorned and criticized, along with artists who did deplorable things in the 90s and are still rather popular (Svetlana Ceca Ražnatović), but let us not pretend that everyone who despises such music does it for a good reason.
