about

This track brings together the legendary voice of singer Dr Nele Karajlić (No Smoking Orchestra), Arab vocalising from Berlin-based singer Abdo from Aleppo and Greek lyricism by Aimilia Varanaki, all with BalkanBeats SoundSystem tunes.

Already a classic, this song is the undeniable thread of the art-documentary „Here we move, Here we Groove“.

It depicts perfectly the route from Syria to Berlin, with its cultural continuities and clashes, its energy, hope and promise of a new future for all.

lyrics

Na severu ciča zima,
Za tu zimu leka ima,

A sa juga bije tuga,
Tuga sebi traži druga

Ej živote, gdje je ona sada, skim li je?
Oj, stoj živote stoj,
Stani malo, sipaj alkohol!

Your music is with me in this hot summer while working on the vegetable fields and in tomato tunnels, and I feel connected to all the co-workers from Romania. What a brilliant album! I can't wait to see your performance in Switzerland this fall. founchopf
