🎬 PRIČA O „BUBAMARI“ / THE STORY OF “BUBAMARA”

Dr Nele Karajlić govori o nastanku pesme „Bubamara“ za film „Crna mačka, beli mačor“ i otkriva da čuveni deo „Džindži, rindži, bubamaro“ nije postojao u prvobitnom tekstu. Taj deo je kasnije na romskom jeziku napisao Dragan Ristić, frontmen benda KAL.

Dr Nele Karajlić recalls the creation of “Bubamara” for the film “Black Cat, White Cat” and reveals that the famous line “Džindži, rindži, bubamaro” was not part of the original lyrics. It was later written in Romani by Dragan Ristić, frontman of KAL.

Neke pesme vremenom postanu veće i od filma u kom su rođene.
Takva je i „Bubamara“.

Mađarska, na jednom divnom Táncház susretu, imao sam čast i radost da je pevam sa mladim muzičarima koji su joj dali novu snagu, novu mladost i neku lepu, iskrenu energiju zbog koje i muzika postoji.

Čudan je osećaj kada slušaš svoje reči kako nastavljaju da žive kroz tuđe glasove, u drugim gradovima, na drugim jezicima i drugim generacijama.

Hvala onim sjajnim ljudima na muzici, osmesima i večeri koja se ne zaboravlja.
