Lemons - 2015 - III

 Lemons - 2015 - III

The Lemons is a four-member Mongolian rock band formed in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. They released their debut album Red in December 2006.  The band consists of 4 members, lead singer Odbayar (Odnoo), guitarist Tulgaa, bassist Anar, and drummer Unurbayar. Lead singer and rhythm guitarist Odnoo established himself as a national style icon. His sunglasses and hat became a signature for him and the band. Lead singer Odnoo was a guitarist in metal rock band called 'Metronome', guitarist Tulgaa was also in a different band called 'Midnight' before joining together as The Lemons. As kids, they were all interested in and passionate about music, specially live music, and were somewhat related musically. Band bassist Anar graduated from Music and Dance College of Mongolia, guitarist Tulgaa's family background were connected to music, and they connected and found each other through their common interest in live music. 

The band secured a devout following after their impassioned set at the 2006 Playtime Festival (Mongolia's first and biggest rock fest). After their first performance at Playtime festival they started to participate annually as they continuously gained a common crowd. Their annual performances at Playtime have consistently been lauded. They are known by their unique fresh and memorable music and deeply poetic lyrics. Almost every song is written in Mongolian language and they said in an interview about how melody comes first and the suitable lyrics comes afterwards. The Lemons enjoys modernist writers of Mongolia such as Ayurzana, and Ulziitugs; which one of their song 'Shunu Dund Tsas Orj Baina (Snowing at midnight)' is written by Ulziitugs's poem with same name.

Their Red Album was the first rock album released by a Mongolian band to achieve national commercial success without heavily compromising its rock sound. Critics described it as sounding similar to early work of The Strokes.[1] Its hits were Hairtai (Love you) and Dzuud Noirondoo(in the dream) (transcribed from the Mongolian Cyrillic alphabet). The band was able to devote its energies full-time to music and began playing multiple shows a week at Ulaanbaatar music venues. In 2009, The Lemons released their second album, Залуу Ленины Ойролцоо Зн Давхарт (roughly On the 3rd floor, around young Lenin.) It expanded the band's sound to include influences from post rock to punk rock. Due to its more challenging sound, the album was less popular than their first effort, though in the three years since their first album the core Mongolian rock audience had expanded significantly and almost universally declared it a triumph.

In 2015, The Lemons released their third studio album, III. The album consists of 10 tracks, most famous tracks are Сүүлийн уянга (Suuliin uyanga) and Paradise. At the same year, The Lemons performed their 3rd big concert at Crocus Event Hall, in Mongolia. Their third studio album 'III' attained a nationwide cult status due to its marketable pop synth blend. In 2016 May, The Lemons performed their first and last 'Unplugged' concert at Mongolian State Academic Theatre of Opera and Ballet. They performed their most famous songs and cover songs by their favorite artists with acoustic guitars and orchestra. Following the 'Unplugged' concert, they released an 'Unplugged album' and DVD of the concert. In 2018, they released their first 'Red album' in a vinyl form with only 500 copies.

Lačni Franz - 1981 - Ikebana

    Lačni Franz was a Slovenian rock band, founded in 1979 in Maribor. The creative core of the five-member line-up consisted of the singer Zoran Predin and innovative guitarist Oto Rimele, who constructed the band's sound on an atypical combination of new-wave aesthetics, subtle melodic-arrangement procedures, provocative social comments and (self-)ironic poetic images.

The group's rise began in 1981 with a successful performance at the Omladinskome Festival in Subotica, and the well-received debut of Ikebana, recorded for the Helidon record company and produced by Boris Bele (from the Bulldozer band). The album contained some of their best ("Praslovan", "Stari vojak") and most unconventional ("Bog nima telefona") performances in their entire career.

The author's original uncompromisingness and impeccable musicianship marked the second (commercially less notable) achievement Adijo pamet (1982) and the next, noticeably more communicative album Ne mi dihat za ovratnik (1983). The title song brought them closer to the widest audience, and the range of influences in the first period of their career included local folk heritage, jazz passages, elements of cabaret, blues-inspired ballads and a rich experience of Anglo-American art rock and post punk. After the album Na svoji strani (1986), Rimele briefly joined the lineup of the group Laibach, and then returned to his original calling as a painter and visual artist. The singles from that stage ("Na svoji strani", "Naj ti poljub nariše ustnice", "Čuvstveno stanje mlade krave, druge največje slovenske živali") strengthened the reputation of the band, which is capable of reconciling its own artistic affinities with the desires of the middle rock current.

Although Lačni Franz maintained relatively high quality in the following years (and in a changed line-up), subsequent works (Sirene tulijo, Tiha voda) are generally considered less important in the overall discography. Zadnja večerja (1993) is their last studio work, although they performed in concert until December 1997. Predin developed a successful independent career by incorporating the standards of Lačno Franz into his own repertoire. The band reunited several times in a rejuvenated line-up (e.g. the album Svako dobro, 2016).

Mohammed Wardi - 1997 -  Al-Marsal

    Mohammed Wardi was a Sudanese singer who has been defined as "The Pharaoh", "The Emperor", "The Legend”, “The Last King of the Nubians”, “The Sudanese Golden Ugola” and among the best African singers. 

Everything start from 19 July 1932, when in a small ethnic Nubian village called Sawarda (near Wadi Halfa, a stone's throw from Nile and from the border with Egypt) Mohammed Wardi was born. July 19 is a very particular day in his life because it comes back and back as we go. The first time he recorded a song on the radio was July 19, 1957. When the military coup of July 19, 1971, occurred, he spent his longest time in detention. So it's always [the number] 19 for him. 

Orphaned at nine, and abandoning an already stable career as a music teacher at just over twenty, Wardi threw himself into the frenetic Khartoum of the 1950s, a city that had recently become the capital of Sudan independent from Great Britain and Egypt (1956 ). Mohammed, self-taught, then began singing on the radio, in particular on the Huna Omdurman station, created by the English in the 1940s but gradually transformed into a "national" Sudanese radio. It will be one success after another: making use of collaborations with the greatest Sudanese and non-Sudanese poets (here is a list), Wardi will become one of the most influential and representative singers and activists of his country's dynamic music scene.

Wardi's story is of particular interest to us because it is inextricably linked to his political activism and, in general, to the recent history of Sudan.

In 1958, after only two years of independence, General Ibrahim Abboud came to power in a coup. Among the successes of Wardi, a staunch opponent of Abboud, we find the song Uktubir Akhdar ("Green October"), dedicated to the strength of the people who can "bring down the prison walls", exactly what happened in October 1964 during the riots people who swept away the coup general and inaugurated a civilian government. From that October the Uktubiriyaat ("the October ones") were born, poems and songs aimed at telling and celebrating the events of that year. Finally, Asbah al-Subh ("The morning has come", here a legendary live performance), Wardi's song dedicated in particular to the students who opposed Abboud, also belongs to that period.  When he sang to Ibrahim Abboud, a former president of Sudan, it was during a military coup. He thought the military loved their country because they didn't have political parties, they didn't just talk a lot and not do much. They were military, they had order, they had discipline. So he sang for these people, but the first political clash that came with them was when they drowned Halfa, when Sudan let Egypt build the dam that drowned the city we come from.

After that, became more conscious, and more aligned with the political left. To be more specific, he was in the Sudanese Communist Party (the largest in Africa during the Cold War). That was in the '60s, he was part of the opposition to remove colonization. They were very close to the youth and their voice was the loudest.

In 1969, Sudan experienced another coup, this time orchestrated by General Ja‘far al-Nimeyri. If in the beginning Wardi supported the latter's "socialist" policies, he later changed his mind when faced with the ferocious repression of dissidents (including himself, imprisoned), with laws that limited freedom of expression, producing, among other things, the resulting decline of the music industry. In a first self-imposed exile, he performed some songs such as Banadeeha (“I am calling her”) in which he criticized al-Nimeyri and, with songs such as Ya Sha'aban Lahabak Thouritak (“O People, your revolution has caught fire”) and today's song Hanabnīhu ("We will build it!"), supported the popular protest movement that would lead to a new civilian government in 1985.

 However, the real exile (between Cairo and the United States) came in 1989, with a further coup d'état by Omar al-Bashir, who remained in office for exactly 30 years, until the recent Sudanese popular uprisings that began in 2018, which ousted him in April 2019.

Milestones from that period are such as al-Marsal (“The Messenger”), Balad Rayeh (“The country is lost”) and above all Sallim Mafateeh Al Balad (“Give us the keys to the country”), which has become famous again, like many of his others. songs, in "updated" versions (like that of the artist Zoozita) and loudly taken up during the most recent protests. In 1994, Wardi won a prize that anointed him the best singer in Africa. 

 

Mohammed Wardi, like music in Sudan, is a treasure to be discovered: we have not exposed his songs in Nubian, those for Sudanese unity, those dedicated to the Sudanese diaspora, those against all sorts of racism and the dozens of songs of 'Love. We have not talked about some legendary moments, such as his concert in front of thousands of Sudanese refugees in the refugee camp of Itang (Ethiopia) in 1990, about that fan who came on foot from Mali to ask him for an autograph for which he paid for the return flight and of his triumphal return to Sudan in 2002.

Perper - 1992 - Sa Gomile Velikih Oblaka

    Перпер (Perper) was formed at the end of 1991 in Cetinje, Montenegro. Centije is a small town. It was the perfect place for friends to get together & form a band. After a holiday conversation between Momčilo Zeković Zeko - bass & Aleksandar Radunović Popaj – lead guitar, the two got together to play a few songs & decided to get serious about recording.

After the holidays, the two returned to Novi Sad & Belgrade where they were studying. While at school, Popaj enlisted his brother Nikola Radunović - vocals, then they rounded up Mladen Brajović – rhythm guitar & Ivan Vujović Mane – drums, & Перпер was formed ( the band name Perper was coined by an old friend & local bands singer Mićko Marović). They were looking for a name that would be unique, recognizable, & easily remembered. Перпер was exactly what they wanted.

Перпер’s first major appearance was on a Montenegrin TV show in November 1991 with a song "Mir Kao Peto Godišnje Doba" (Peace as a Fifth Season). It was an anti-war song, which, due to strong pro-war sentiment, didn’t go over very well but led to more exposure for the band.

At the end of December they recorded their first album Sa Gomile Velikih Oblaka (From a Bunch of Big Clouds) in Novi Sad. They have released seven albums & many singles. This album, recorded live at the Montenegro National Theater is the first ever ‘unplugged’ concert recorded in Montenegro.

Zabranjeno Pušenje - 1985 - Dok čekaš sabah sa šejtanom

   Zabranjeno Pušenje (transl. No Smoking) is a Bosnian rock band formed in Sarajevo in 1980. The group's musical style primarily consists of a distinctive garage rock sound with folk influences, often featuring innovative production and complex storytelling. Currently, the band consists of founding member, vocalist and guitarist Sejo Sexon, longtime drummer Branko Trajkov, guitarist Toni Lović, bassist Dejan Orešković, and violinist and keyboardist Robert Boldižar.

In the early 1980s, when the rest of the Yugoslav popular music scene followed the trends in Europe of the early 1980s, chiefly punk rock and new wave, Zabranjeno Pušenje were part of a unique rock movement centered in Sarajevo that forged its own path. This movement, for the most part, centered on simple, youthful, garage rock, with folk influences and a distinctive Sarajevo urban feel called New Primitivism.

The songs range from punk rock to rock, frequently arranged to feature trumpets and saxophones, adding to the band's unique sound, along with many samples and soundbites from the period. Zabranjeno Pušenje captured the feel of Sarajevo, its idols and local heroes along with tales of love and loss, in a distinctive and often humorous way. Very visual and cynical, the band's lyrics were progressive enough to show the last stages of Yugoslav socialism (songs "Dan republike", "Srce ruke i lopata", "Abid", "Guzonjin sin"), alternate clubs ("Pišonja i Žuga u paklu droge", "Javi mi"), as well as providing morbid hints for the Yugoslav Wars ("Kanjon Drine", "Zvijezda nad Balkanom").

They were one of the most popular musical acts of the 1980s in Yugoslavia, selling hundreds of thousands of records. Many times they got in trouble with the authorities for their, usually mild and sympathetic, criticism of the socialist system, and the habit of making light of issues considered sensitive at the time. The band's first lineup, originally named Pseudobluz bend Zabranjeno Pušenje, featured guitarist Sejo Sexon and vocalist Nele Karajlić, alongside drummers Fu-Do then Šeki Gayton, bassist Munja Mitić, keyboardist Seid Mali Karajlić, saxophonist and flutist Ognjen Gajić, guitarist Mustafa Čengić, and synthesizerist Zoran Degan. Their debut studio album Das ist Walter (1984) was initially released in limited circulation; the final count was 100,000 copies sold, setting a record for exceeding the initial release by 30 times. Their subsequent album Dok čekaš sabah sa šejtanom (1985), also released through Jugoton, was boycotted by the mainstream media due to troubles with Communist authorities (ofr a pun about Marshal Tito expressed during a concert). In 1986, Šeki Gayton, Mitić and Čengić chose to leave the group, while drummer Faris Arapović, bassist Darko Ostojić, guitarist Kowalski and keyboardist Dado Džihan joined in.
