Decemberfestival Decemberfestival Folkfest med kända turkiska, persiska, bosniska, arabiska, kurdiska och iranska artister! I december blir det en minifestival i tre dagar på Södra teatern. Riksteatern bjuder på folkfest med kurdisk balladdrottning, iransk dansvirtuos, bosniskt garagerockband, Sevdalinka orkester, palestinsk hiphoptrio och legendariskt rockband från Turkiet . Nu har även du som arrangör ute i landet möjlighet att boka en eller flera av dessa artister. Nedan följer kort om respektive artist och möjliga dagar att boka! AYNUR DOĞAN Kurdisk balladdrottning Sångerskan Aynur Doğan, är en av de mest framstående kurdiska artisterna. Med klar, kraftfull och distinkt röst bjuder hon på musik som kan beskrivas som en typ av orientalisk gospel med texter om förtryck, frihet och kärlek. Hon lyfter fram den kurdiska traditionen och ger den ett nytt modernt uttryck. Hennes teknik är bländande, hennes scennärvaro stark och det är där, på scenen, som hon kommer bäst till sin rätt, säger de som sett henne. Repertoaren består i huvudsak av kurdiska, men också turkiska, folksånger som framförs med bländande teknik och total scennärvaro. Aynurs röst står i centrum, ackompanjerad av skickliga musiker till intensiva rytmer. Den som sett den uppmärksammade musikfilmen ”Crossing the Bridge – the Sound of Istanbul ”av Faith Atkin minns säkert slutscenen där Aynur sjunger så nackhåren reser sig.

Moshkin Ghalam är dansare, skådespelare och koreograf. Med inspiration från olika östasiatiska traditioner har han skapat en egen unik dansstil. Han blandar persiska, kurdiska, sufiska och indiska influenser med modern västerländsk dans till en färgstark fängslande brygd som bländat publiken världen över. ”En enda strålkastare lyste på honom, där han utförde den virvlande sufi-dansen. Med klassisk persisk musik i bakgrunden, tog han med inslag av flamenco, indonesisk stridskonst, indisk kathakali – och märkligt nog blandades de fullständigt gränslöst med varandra! ” Huffington Post YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5sh1Ae2062I Fakta Gage: Ordinarie: 31 000: -, Medlem 25 000: -.

Scen: Grön, blå, röd Teknikkrav: Se separat bilaga ZABRANJENO PUŠENJE Legendarisk garagerockband från Sarajevo Ett av forna Jugoslaviens mest populära band som sålde hundratusentals skivor är nu lika aktuella på den bosniska musikscenen! Zabranjeno Pušenje är ett rockband från Sarajevo med rötter i 1980-talet och kulturrörelsen “New Primitivism”. Deras speciella stil kan närmast kallas garagerock, i motsats till 80- talets populära new wave och punk, med influenser av folkmusik. På ett ofta humoristiskt sätt fångar de känsla av sin hemstad och dess berättelser om kärlek och förlust, oftast med skuggor från krigets dagar. Bandet bildades av en grupp vänner som arbetade med det satiriska radioprogrammet “Top Lista Nadrealista” (Surrealismens topplista)och hamnade ofta i bråk med myndigheterna på grund av sin milda men tydliga kritik av det socialistiska systemet. Gruppen fortsätter sina turnéer och deras senaste album gjorde stor succé häromåret och nu är de tillbaka i Sverige för ett fåtal spelningar!

Med sin orientaliska prägel av stundom vemodiga, stundom förföriska rytmer gör bandet en resa genom den bosnisk- hercegovinska folkkulturen. Till tonerna från dragspel, basprim (en slags mandolin) och fiol, tillsammans med en operasångerska, sjunger bandet klassiska sevdahlåtar. ”Sevdalinka” är benämningen på en folkmusikgenre med lång tradition i Bosnien- Hercegovina, som även är mycket populär i Montenegro, Serbien, Kroatien och Makedonien. Ursprungligen kommer ordet från turkiskans ”Sevda”: kärlek. Den har en del gemensamt med flamenco, fado och blues och texterna handlar ofta om hjärta och smärta.

DAM Palestinsk Hiphop Från Haifa till Ramallah, från New York till San Francisco och nu även till Sverige! Med DAM föds historien om den palestinska hiphopen! De tre palestinska rapparna Tamer Nafar, Suhell Nafar och Mahmoud Jreri har väckt stor uppmärksamhet med sina politiska ramsor. Deras texter beskriver upplevelser av att vara en palestinsk minoritet i en judisk stat, om förtryck, kamp, korruption och om sociala problem i det palestinska samhället. Franska tidningen Le Monde kallar dem för ”den nya generationens talesmän”. ”Ibland kan du inte förändra världen på en minut eller med en låt, men du kan väcka tankar som kommer att förändra världen och göra människor mer medvetna om de problem som vi delar och den verklighet som vi lever i. " - DAM DAM rappar på arabiska, hebreiska och engelska. Med inspiration av artister såsom Ghassan Kanafani, Ahlam Mosteghanemi, Tupac och Public Enemy har de skapat en unik fusion av öst och väst, där storstadens hiphop möter arabiska trummor och melodier från Mellanöstern. Mer än ett årtionde efter sitt första singelsläpp fortsätter de att fascinera, inspirera och ge röst till unga i Palestina och övriga Mellanöstern.

Legendariska Moğollar, rockbandet som skapat den anatoliska rocken, gör en exklusiv turné med Riksteatern. Gruppen som har ett helt unikt sound blandar etno, turkisk folkmusik, psykedelisk pop och västerländsk rock. Moğollar är kanske mer än något annat band pionjärer inom turkisk musik. De bildades i slutet av sextiotalet och intog snabbt förstaplatsen på Turkish Hit Parade. En plats som brukade vara reserverad för engelska och amerikanska band. Bandet har turnerat världen över och 1971 vann de Grand Prix du Disque of the Charles Cros Academy, som tidigare tilldelats storheter som Pink Floyd och Jimi Hendrix . I mer än fem decennier har de inspirerat och influerat den turkiska musikscenen och de är idag fortfarande ett av de mest betydande banden i landet!

Låt oss lysa upp vinterdunklet med värme, glädje och musik! .

But since you have delayed my departure yourself, do not now be upset that I’ve told you a few harsh ones.

Whichever spice stings him most, that’s what I serve him!’ And now good-bye, and stay in good health!” – Martin Krpan to the Emperor, in Frank Levstik’s Martin Krpan1 I used to have a Swedish dentist. Like all dentists, he relished the pleasure peculiar to their profession—to converse with a person whom they have just rendered incapable of answering back. While thus engaged, this dentist also enjoyed the odd dig at my expense. He once told me of a journey through Yugoslavia, which he took as a younger man. He did not spare me sarcastic comments on the broken- down socialist trains, corrupt policemen, beautiful women keen to marry a Westerner, etc. Of course I had to repay him somehow. So after I was finally allowed to spit out that abominable mixture of mouthwash and blood, I told him the following anecdote: !1 “You describe my people rather well,” I said, “but, of course, we ex-Yugoslavs have also travelled to Sweden, mostly as immigrants, rather than as tourists.

  • Yugoslav Cinema
    Egemia, 2018; 3: 31-49 31 TRANSFORMATION OF TRAUMATIC CHARACTERS IN POST- YUGOSLAV CINEMA Ahmet Ender UYSAL* ABSTRACT This study examines the changes Yugoslav cinema realized from the 1980s to the 2000s, and seeks to see the contributions of three important post-Yugoslav directors to the transformation of the cinema characters. The post-Yugoslav states emerged after the disintegration of Yugoslavia, and they underwent political and cultural changes as a result of the collapse of the former Yugoslav socialism and the post-civil war. Post- Yugoslav cinema, which took its share from these changes, experienced crises of national identity and modernization. Examining these changes in cinema with cinematic characters is also very important in terms of visualizing cultural and economic changes in a cinematic sense. The real problem here is where the boundary of this change will be drawn. This is because, although the characters in post-Yugoslavian cinema have been transformed, there is still some cinematic tradition that continues today. Post-Yugoslav cinema will therefore be considered within the period of 1980s. Keywords: Post-Yugoslav cinema, trauma, cinematic characters * Arş. Gör., Yüzüncü Yıl Üniversitesi Güzel Sanatlar Fakültesi, Sinema-Televizyon Bölümü / VAN E-posta: [email protected] Makale Gönderim Tarihi: 14.06.2018 – Makale Kabul Tarihi: 16.10.2018 32 Egemia, 2018; 3: 31-49 INTRODUCTION Often, the concept of post-Yugoslavian cinema offers curative effects on rejection of failure and the search for hope, and becomes a common stake of new countries emerging after the dissolution of the former Yugoslavia, which is increasingly adopted in the field of film studies (Šprah, 2015: 184).

Bijelo Dugme je, kao što su neki moji sugovornici već spominjali, bend koji je promijenio mnoge stvari, kako u Bosni i Hercegovini, tako i u bivšoj Jugoslaviji. Vrlo brzo su postali najtiražniji, vrlo brzo su postali jako popularni. Ono što su oni izvodili se, u tim samim počecima, najlakše može opisati kao kombinacija Led Zeppelina, i neke... Nekog bluesa, recimo, sa blues korijenima se osjeti neki uticaj, recimo B.B. Kinga, Muddy Watersa itd; dok poslije, kako je bend napredovao i kako se mijenjao, došlo je do uticaja etna, tj. kao što sam već spominjao, nekog tradicionalnog zvuka na samom zvuku benda, koji se nastavio do samog njihovog gašenja 1989. U međuvremenu, kao odgovor na pojavu Bijelog Dugmeta, pojavili su se, pojavio se veliki broj alternativnih bendova, kako u Bosni i Hercegovini, tako i u čitavoj bivšoj Jugoslaviji. Sve je počelo nekim novim valom, tj. novim talasom u Beogradu i u Zagrebu, pa su se pojavili bendovi poput Haustora, Prljavog kazališta [u Zagrebu], Partibrejkersa u Beogradu, ne znam koga bih još spomenuo, koji su, je li, pokušali da rade nešto što je potpuno drugačije od ovog što je radilo Bijelo Dugme. Iz tog novog vala se pojavio jedan pravac tj. podžanr alternativne rock muzike u Bosni i Hercegovini koji se zvao „novi primitivizam“ tj.

  • The Role of Music in the Conflict- Tool of Reconciliation Or a Deadly Weapon (Case Study of War in Former Yugoslavia)
    The Role of Music in the Conflict- Tool of Reconciliation or a Deadly Weapon (Case Study of War in Former Yugoslavia) Institute for Cultural Diplomacy The Annual Conference on Cultural Diplomacy 2015 "Building Bridges of Peace and Reconciliation in Times of Greater Global Insecurity" (Berlin; December 10th - 13th, 2015) Zrinka Mozara, PhD student Abstract The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of the role that music played in the war during the conflict in former Yugoslavia. In the first part, the usage of music in building the common Yugoslavian identity is presented. Secondly, the influence of the music during the pre-conflict period is exposed. Furthermore, the role of music as a weapon is considered. Finally, the paper demonstrates the potential of music during the reconciliation period. 1. INTRODUCTION Throughout history, music has always been a useful instrument for propaganda and an efficient motivator for group action. Although music has the potential to bring people together, at the same time, this sense of belonging to a specific group may be used in order to build antagonistic sentiments towards the other group (Grant et al., 2010). Even though there has been relatively little research on connection between music and propaganda, existing evidence suggests that the most successful musical propaganda is an affirmative one which induces positive associations (Grant et al., 2010). On the other hand, there are lots of examples of the negative influences in music which raises the issue of justification of the censorship. Music simply cannot be seen as absolutely positive since there are many examples when music was tool of the oppression and persecution of others or it was used to encourage hatred and violence (Grant et al., 2010).

  • Dr. Nele Karajlić in the Framework of the “New Primitives”
    DOI https://doi.org/10.2298/MUZ1723099V UDC 78.071.1/.2 Др Неле Карајлић Dr. Nele Karajlić in the Framework of the “New Primitives” Borislava Vučković, PhD Independent researcher1 Received: 15 February 2017 Accepted: 1 June 2017 Original scientific paper Abstract The “New Primitives” is an alternative, and later, a cultural movement that emerged in Sarajevo in the late 1970s and early 1980s; the movement officially ceased to exist in 1987. The most substantial cultural capital of the movement relates to “Zabranjeno pušenje” (“No Smoking”) band and the radio and television show Top lista nadrealista (Top List of Surrealists), while the biggest individual cultural capital lies with Nenad Janković, a phony doctor with the “erotic” pseudonym of Dr. Nele Karajlić. The subject matter of this article is the authorship and co-authorship of Dr. Nele Karajlić within the “No Smoking” band and the television show Top List of Surrealists in the cultural space of the socialist Yugoslavia during the 1980s. Key words: Dr. Nele Karajlić, “New Primitivеs,” “No Smoking Orchestra” band, Top List of Surrealists “New Primitivism” was one of the most significant youth alternative movements in Yugoslavia during the 1980s, notable for their attempts of “creating an authentic rock culture” (Dragićević-Šešić 1992: 173). This research focuses on the general characteri- stics and aesthetics of “New Primitivism,” the role of Dr. Nele Karajlić in constituting the movement, his performances and the analysis of the (humorous) language used in songs that he wrote for the “No Smoking” band and in the screenplays for the televi- sion series Top List of Surrealists.

Znači, moj omiljeni bend je bio, i sad je, Bijelo Dugme. Oni su, dakle, ostavili najveći trag u istoriji pop-rocka u bivšoj Jugoslaviji. Prvo su se zvali Jutro. Osnivač je bio Goran Bregović, koji je svirao u bendu Izohipse prije toga. Njega je pronašao pjevač, prvi pjevač Bijelog Dugmeta, Željko Bebek. Osnovali su ustvari bend koji se zvao Jutro, kasnije je to po najvećem hitu benda Jutro koji se zvao „Kad bi bio bijelo dugme“ su i dobili naziv grupe Bijelo Dugme. U istoriji benda dosta se mijenjala postava. Bila su tri pjevača; prvi je bio Željko Bebek, pa je bio Mladen Vojičić Tifa, treći je bio Alen Islamović. Također su se mijenjali bubnjari. Jedan bubnjar je poginuo, kako se zvao... Mislim Ipe Ivandić, jest... Jest, Ipe je poginuo, bacio se sa zgrade hotela u Beogradu. Imali su dosta problema i s drogom, doduše kao i svaki rock bend, eto, i mi smo imali tih problema, mada je bila komunistička vlast pa su morali malo progledati kroz prste, bilo je malo teže nego sada, sa drogom, problem. Uglavnom... Najveći ustvari koncert u istoriji svih bendova je napravilo upravo Bijelo Dugme na koncertu kod Hajdučke česme '76. ili '77. godine. Bend je napravio „comeback“ 2005. godine, kada su napravili turneju Sarajevo-Zagreb- Beograd. Aleksandar: Koje godine su se raspali? Mirza: Raspali su se '90.

  • How Balkan Rock Went West
    Alenka Barber-Kersovan HOW BALKAN ROCK WENT WEST Political Implications of an Ethno-Wave TITO’S SOCIALISTIC ROCK’N’ROLL The term Balkan Rock1 was originally applied to the once flourishing Yugo Rock. Considering the fact that communist regimes regarded Anglo- American popular music as a ‘carrier of Western values’, and consequently as a direct attack on Marxist ideology (see Pilkington 1994; Rauhut 1996: 239– 240), at first glance the existence of a lively pop music scene in the former Socialistic Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRJ) might seem paradoxical. However, if we take into account the historical development and the specifics of the political system of the now disintegrated country, the positive attitude towards this musical genre and Western popular culture in general becomes comprehensible. After the political breakaway from Moscow in 1948 (see Fritzler 1993: 38–40), the former Yugoslavia embarked on what it called its ‘self-determining way into socialism’. The main pillars of this doctrine were the adoption of certain features of the market economy (the Economic Reform of 1965), the system of socialistic self- government (installed after the change of the constitution in 1968), and the leading role within the Non-Aligned Nations. In practice, this meant that the country, situated between the two current dominant political systems, was a kind of West of the East, where market-oriented production conditions coincided with socialistic ideology, and the neo-Stalinist roots of the communist regime were covered with a coat of pseudo-democratic pseudo-liberalism (see Tomc 1985: 13). Hence, on the one hand (except for sporadic cycles of tighter Party control), in Yugoslavia a specific ‘repressive-tolerant’ (see Tomc 1985) political climate dominated, which proved to be favourable for the re- contextualisation of western musical genres.
