Dunja Knebl & Roko Margeta - FAUNA (full album)

Tradicijske narodne pjesme iz Hrvatske o životinjama/Traditional Croatian folk songs about animals

U tradicijskim pjesmama životinje često presonificiraju ljude. Razne ptice i druge životinje pjevaju o ljubavi, ali i o slobodi (Samec prez para, Maček, Tičica). U nekim pjesmama životinje kao takve žale se na svoju gorku sudbinu jer ih čovjek zlostavlja i/ili ubija (Konj, Zajec), a neke imaju priče koje se mogu interpretirati na najrazličitije načine (Riba, Zmaj, Košutica).

All the album songs are traditional folk songs from Croatia arranged in a contemporary manner, including a large number of instruments from all over the world.They are all about animals, their happy moments on Earth, or sad and even tragic lives. In some songs animals personify us, humans, and there are among them several mystical songs that can be interpreted in many different ways.

Pjesma Samec prez para dolazi kao bonus jer je snimljena ranije za plesnu predstavu “Janica pleše”. Ona personificira sve usamljene ljude na svijetu iako o tome zbori ptica./The song Samec prez para is like a bonus track because it was recorded for a show two years before the rest of the album. It is about all the lonely people in the world even though it seems that it is about a lonely bird.
