Mali Radojica - Epic Slavic Music of Serbia
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 มิ.ย. 2022
- A reupload from the original version posted earlier today--some people reported distortion due to the volume being too high so I removed some vocal parts and some instrumental parts.
Music arranged by Farya Faraji, based on folkloric motifs from the Balkans. This is another piece in the style of Balkanic music from Serbia, Bulgaria, and neighbouring Slavic countries. The instrumentation uses that of 16th to 19th century Balkans such as the kaval flute, the gaida bagpipe, a saz and percussions; my main inspiration being Kulin Ban's music, as I try to emulate their style and sound, go check them out if you like this style of music.
Mila Radojica is a figure in the cycles of Serbian epic poetry, traditionally recited on the gusle heard at the beginning of the song. He is a hajduk: real historical figures who were freedom fighters against the Ottoman occupiers, and were often bandits and highwaymen: they persist today in Balkanic folklore as Robin Hood-esque figures that often fight for the weak and the oppressed. Mila's story begins as he is captured and tortured by the Turks, but escapes with the help of a Turkish girl who falls in love with him. - เพลง

Много здраве от Българите от Бесарабия!
I cannot express how grateful I am for this masterpiece! Respect from Serbia, Iranian bro!

Браво! 💪
Поздрав из Србије и хвала вам на презентацију српске музике и историјских тема.
@Bob Simon21 👍
@Bob Simon21 Mali Radojica doesn't have anything with Ukrainian, Russian, Croatian, Czech and other Slavic cultures, it is completely Serbian
my Byzantine ears love this music
The Slavic and middle Greek songs are always my favorites. They have this kind of harsh and vibrant sounds
Much love for the BALKANS brother's 🇷🇴 ♥
Respect for my Romanian brother! Keep our Balkan culture forever!
Serbian music ♥️🇷🇸♥️
Mali Radojica (meaning Little Radojica, and Radojica itself being a nickname from Radovan, or some similar name - there are multiple possibilities) was one of the hajduk characters featured in our (Serbian) folk epics (they weren't about singing, the melody was the same for every song, the point was in the story they tell). Hajduks were real, and often performed raids at civilian or even military targets throughout the Ottoman-occupied Serbia. They were commonly men who's family was killed by the Turks, and who essentially had nothing to lose, so they went to the forest to fight for freedom. Did Mali Radojica really exist, it is unknown, his story (which will be summed up shortly) seems quite fantastic, but is not impossible in theory, at least. Many of the hajduk epics were based around real events, which were, of course, changed to have a better story flow or more epic elements. The idea was that they boost the people's morale and give hope, hope of liberation from Turks.
Now, I've read the epic a while back, so I might forget a few things, but the general story is as it follows:
Radojica is captured by an Ottoman bej (sort of like a provincial governor) alongside several other hajduks, and the bej starts a celebration because capturing the hajduks was a long and difficult task. Radojica comes up with a plan in the bej's dungeon, to pretend dead, so that the Turks throw him outside, and that he can return and save his comrades, who are captured with him as well. However, the bej's wife wasnt convinced that he was dead, so she made a few "tests" to prove it. Essentially, he was tortured in numerous ways, but he managed to take all of it without moving. At the end, the bej's daughter enters, and Radojica opens one eye to take a look at her, but she saves him by putting a piece of fabric over his head, so that bej doesnt see that he is, in fact alive. She also tells bej not to worry, and that Radojica is certainly dead, and so he is thrown in the nearby river or lake. He then returns, liberated his comrades, and kills the bej and his wife, then marries his daughter (who fell in love with him, and helped him because of it.)
I totally recommend reading the full epic (and when you're already there, you might as well read all other songs of hajduk thematic)

Rade mu je ime.
@@BosnaSRBRS Radovan..Radmilo..Rajko..Radislav..Radivoj..Rade je skracenica za sva navedena imena..mada postoji i klasican naziv za rade...U istorijskim zapisima Radovan je najcesce ime i slicno je sa Jermenskim imenima koja se zavrsavaju na "AN"..a poznato je da su Jermenski graditelji izgradili dobar deo nasih manastira za vremena Sv Save..Cara Dusana i tako dalje...i naravno postoji manastir Jermencic kod grada Soko Banje koje su izgradili Jermeni koji su presli na nasu stranu u boju na kosovu jer nisu hteli protiv nas Srba da se bore.Jermeni su za mene bratski narod i dosta imamo zajednickog kroz istoriju.
Svaka čast za objašnjenje.
i love this, greetings from 🇷🇸
It is touching your soul.❤
When the first sound reached my ears, I unknowingly pressed the like button. I love this!!
The first (as well as the last) sounds were played on the instrument called gusle (fiddle). It is a string instrument that has only one, rarely two strings of hair from a horse tail and is played with a bow. The gusle remaind the guardian of the identity of the Serb people, and they sang about fights, wars, heroes, religion and the Kosovo covenant. This is the national instrument of the Serb people, whether they are from Serbia, Bosnia or Montenegro or Macedonia.

It was a very nice tone. Thank you for telling me about the instrument!
traditional music done right : Farya Faraji
The flute sounds similar to kurdish style flute. Wonderful music as usual
Great work, epic...
You are doing amazing stuff.
All the best from Serbia to you and Iran!
Simply wonderful

Thanks for the upload. You are the best musician in the world that living.
Another banger mate, keep up the great work. Big ups.
Wonderful piece
Just wow. The melody is very familliar to me and quite common in Ukrainian Carpathias where I live. The only thing unfamilliar were the Balkan instruments.
SERBIAN epic hero !
Amazing song

Selamlar. ❤
Farya, please, make sometime ''Abun D'Bashmayo". it's so interesting to hear your version. You're so talented
Hi, farya I've listening to your music from few months and I am impressed by your creation, especially the Latin one's, I request you please create a song in Sanskrit(Latin of India) if you can
I respect you
Wonderful! Sounds similar to Kurdish music.
In the background you can hear instrument called GAJDE manufactured from goat skin and flute from rose wood..Kurdish music is also beautiful.I hear beautiful Kurdish music from Irbil..Sulaymaniah..Sere kanye..Al Kamishli..Batman..Sanliurfa ..greets from Serbia abi

Bravooooo! 💪💪❤️
Nice work! Do you have like a team that makes a historic research for your music or you doing this alone?
I do all the research by myself, that's the fun part actually, so I wouldn't one someone else doing it for me haha
Serbian epic song

Amazing! Could you possibly produce a few Iranic beats as I would imagine them from steppe Indo Europeans like Scythians (not Iranian, but Iranic!). Would be awesome
Serbo-Iranic bro bcs not only Iran are from Scythia also Serbia and Russia exist and we are all Aryans and family brothers and sisters 🇷🇸❤️🇮🇷
I got informed about Hajduks and they seem really familiar with the Dragoi of us Catholic Albanians.
Drago, Dragoj means dear one in serbian. Many christians in Alb are medieval Serbs in fact. Around half towns in Alb have Serb names.
@@Serdjo90 This is true, God himself proclaimed this. Serbia actually controlled the world but was so nice as to give it back to the world. -Petar Vilkećeđićad Vojvode od Srbija
These freedom fighters of Serbian origin that fought against turkish occupiers are the same as Kleftes and Armatoli of Greek origin, who were bandits initially but then become the bulk of the greek liberation army from the turks
I was visiting the Mani peninsula a few weeks ago and it was so cool to be walking through what was basically a stronghold of the Kleftes-it felt like walking through a land of Kleftes
@@faryafaraji nice to know that you visited the Peloponese. If you ever come to Crete, Heraklion area, let me know. We have a huge musical tradition, which I believe you have already included in Degenis composition. You will adore it as the musical instruments existing in our local music are those you occasionally use. By the way, us Cretans still listen to our folk songs daily. Not as the rest of Europeans who only listen to their folk music on random festivals or movies
@@GreekAnthems I did go to Crete for a few days after Mani, but not long enough to completely soak it in--I think my next trip will be solely in Crete given how big of an island it is. I did however have time to go to the Stagakis lyra workshop in Rethymno, I took a video there of me playing the lauto while a Cretan played the lyra, it was amazing haha, I'll probably upload it soon
And indeed, something I really loved about Kriti is how much more present the folk music is present--I feel like there's much more of a respect for it, which is really great, it's such a unique style of its own within Greek music! Very beautiful island and culture you guys have!
Hajduks, Uskoks, Klephtes, Armatoli, Bashi-bazouks all pretty similar
God Bless Persia
Farya do you have a compilation of all Serbian songs in one place (like a CD in the olden days) that can be purchased?
I have a recommendation. Have you considered recreating anything by Mesomedes of Crete?
Yeah I'm definitely going to soon!
you should do a feat with maestro Bora Dugic, that would be a masterpiece for ages.
p.s. you're already making masterpieces xD
cool
Very close to thracian greek music. East Romylian
This is serbian music
the intro soinds like it was sampled from seka aleksic
this could easily be played in serbian clubs
Dancefloor
Slavic disco))))

Epic berber music when

🐺🇷🇸🦅☦️💪💪💪💪💪
its like mazandarian song little bit
Would be funny if you did some ancient music from Cuba from the 1950's 🤣
Prva liga.
Ey this is a Serbian song
mali roadojica mu ga je nastelovo na vibraciju
Under? Under.
Now what I need to do is just make this folklore submit to Communist Ideology 🗿👍
Serbian not Slavic...
Because as we all know Serbs are not Slavs, they’re Han Chinese
😂
