Ćiribiribela is the ninth and final studio album by Yugoslav rock band Bijelo Dugme, released in 1988. Bijelo Dugme would split-up in 1989, and Ćirbiribela would be the band's last release (excluding compilation albums) before the band's 2005 reunion and the live album Turneja 2005: Sarajevo, Zagreb, Beograd.[1]
During work on the album Ćiribiribela, Bijelo Dugme leader, again, obviously, but now even more drastically than two years ago, found himself in a situation in which he, promoting Yugoslavism, has to concurrently be a Serb, a Croat, a Muslim, and everything else.[5]
The album's biggest hit was "Đurđevdan je, a ja nisam s onom koju volim", which featured Fejat Sejdić Trumpet Orchestra.[1] Other hits included "Evo zakleću se", "Ako ima Boga", "Šta ima novo", "Nakon svih ovih godina", pop-influenced "Napile se ulice" and Dalmatian folk music-inspired "Ćirbiribela".[1]
After the album release, Radio-Television Belgrade decided to finance and produce a video for the song "Đurđevdan je, a ja nisam s onom koju volim". The original idea was for the video to feature iconography inspired by Serbian Army in World War I.[6] The video shoot was organized in the village Koraćica in Central Serbia.[6] The band came to the video shoot reportedly not knowing anything about the concept of the video about to be shot.[7] The band members were to wear insignia-less military uniforms along with old weapons, but Islamović thought it too "pro-war", refusing to wear a military uniform.[7] Eventually, the band and the video director reached an agreement: everyone, except Islamović, wore Serbian traditional costumes, with only several of the original props used.[8] Still, after the video was recorded, the Radio-Television Belgrade executives themselves decided not to broadcast it, fearing it might remind of the Chetnik movement.[8]
Ćirbiribela would be the band's last release (excluding compilation albums) before the band's 2005 reunion and the live album Turneja 2005: Sarajevo, Zagreb, Beograd (Tour 2005: Sarajevo, Zagreb, Belgrade).[1]
Album je sniman u Sarajevu i Beogradu, a kao gosti na materijalu sudjeluju, zbor srpske pravoslavne crkve, "Prvo beogradsko pjevačko društvo", Klapa "Trogir", bubnjar Vlada Golubović i basist Nenad "Japanac" Stefanović. Na albumu se nalazi dosta skladbi koje su jako dobro prihvaćene kod publike, "Evo zakleću se", "Napile se ulice", "Ako ima Boga" i "Šta ima novo".
Omot albuma sastoji se od slike "Noina arka", a najveći hit na njemu je skladba "Đurđevdan je a ja nisam s onom koju volim". Bregović koristi stih Đorđa Balaševića, "...a ja nisam s onom koju volim" i staru romsku temu, dok je u pratnji orkestar Fejata Sejdića. Ovom obradom postiže ogroman uspjeh kod publike, a skladba postaje kavanski hit za sva vremena. Provokativna skladba je bila "Lijepa naša" koja je kombinirana s "Tamo daleko".
Ćiribiribela je deseti i posljednji LP-album grupe Bijelo dugme iz 1988. godine u izdanju sarajevske diskografske kuće "Diskoton". Sve pjesme napisao je Goran Bregović, a album je snimljen tokom oktobra i novembra 1988. godine u studijima Aquarius u Beogradu i RTV Sarajevo.[1]
Muzički album Bijelog dugmeta pod nazivom "Ćiribiribela" objavljen je krajem 1988. godine.[1] Snimljen je tokom političke krize u bivšoj Jugoslaviji, a obilježili su ga pacifistički napori vođe sastava Gorana Bregovića: na naslovnici albuma je slika Edwarda Hicksa "Noina arka", a pjesma "Lijepa naša" predstavlja nacionalnu himnu Hrvatske "Lijepa naša domovino" u kombinaciji sa srpskom pjesmom iz Prvog svjetskog rata "Tamo daleko", a naslovna pjesma sadrži tekst o paru koji se pita šta će učiniti ako rat započne i na kraju zaključuju da će "ostati kod kuće i ljubiti se".[2]
Snimanje albuma otkrilo je krizu unutar sastava. Pjesme "Lijepa naša" i "Evo, zakleću se" svirali su studijski muzičari Nenad Stefanović "Japanac" na bas gitari i član sastava Bajaga i Instruktori Vladimir "Vlajko" Golubović na bubnjevima, što je izazvalo sukobe Bregovića na jednoj strani, te basiste Zorana Redžića i bubnjara Gorana "Ipeta" Ivandića.[3]
Najuspješnija pjesma na albumu kod publike bila je "Đurđevdan je, a ja nisam s onom koju volim", na kojoj je svirao trubački orkestar Fejata Sejdića. Prema Bregovićevim riječima, nadahnuta je stihom iz pjesme Đorđa Balaševića "Priča o Vasi Ladačkom".[4]Druge uspješne pjesme su "Evo zakleću se", "Ako ima Boga", "Šta ima novo", "Nakon svih ovih godina", pop pjesma "Napile se ulice" i dalmatinska narodna pjesma "Ćirbiribela".[1]
Laza Ristovski and Dijelo Dugme member Goran Ipe Ivandic recorded an album together under the name Laza I Ipe. Ristovski was also a one time member of Smak.
After the seventies period (heavy rock with occasional moments of prog and folk), and 80's period (new wave pop-rock period),the band's last album, "Ćiribiribela" is a sort of a mixed bag: it's a combination of (mostly bland) pop with synths andcheesy drum machines plus some elements of classic rock and a few experiments.Those experiments were not very successful; the final result is sort of a mixed bag, sometimes hilarious, sometimesnonsensical, sometimes alright, but unfortunately it was alright only occasionally.Goran Bregović, the main man and spiritus movens of the band was always blending elements of folk and rock, and he isalways highly controversial person too. Why is this important? Well, most of the time is not. In the self-titled song he usedtraditional Croatian (Dalmatian) klapa singing as an intro, before song mutated into a pop drivel with some cheesybrasses. The last track "Lijepa nasa" is simply a mixture (both lyrically and melodically) of Croatian national anthem and anold Serbian folk song. This is quite a failed experiment - and, interestingly, it caused much less controversy then thanBregović probably wanted - - maybe because he did a similar thing before - daring to touch official Yugoslavian anthem at thetime. The aforementioned song would be much more controversial nowadays - but it's completely forgotten and sunk intoobscurity and obsolecy.(?) Another controversial track from the album is "Djurdjevdan je a ja nisam s onom koju volim" - the song is authentic folk withno rock elements whatsoever - the move that was not untypical for the rock bands of that time, in the turbulent days ofnational identity that occured just before bitter war started. However "Djurdjevdan je a ja nisam s onom koju volim" is basedupon (or ripped off?) a Serbian Gypsian brass folk music and it remained highly controversial up to this day. It's undoubtedlythe best number on the album (and absolutely out of place in the whole concept) but sadly, the musical context was (and stillis) completely overshadowed with the political context: somehow, the song became an "unofficial anthem" of Serbs (at least ofSerbs in Bosnia and Croatia) and, needless to say, it was absolutely banned from Croatia in the early 90's. It's still highlyunlikely that you will hear it on a radio (Croatia is, for some reason, the most sensitive country of all former Yugoslavcountries, making everything that was Yugoslavia-related a taboo, although things are softening a bit nowadays).I really hate to talk that much about political context over a musical value - but BIJELO DUGME were always political, evenindirectly. The band disbanded after this album - not because of different musical and business opinion - but because ofpolitics. The band members were making BIJELO DUGME, a Bosnian band, truly Yugoslavian and multi-national band, in a waythey represented Yugoslavia through the prism of rock music. When the country disappeared, the band disappeared too. However they remained highly praised by the fans of good music - but not because of this album. The albums contained morethan a few hits: aforementioned "Djurdjevan", "Napile se ulice", "Ako ima boga" (both pop-rock) and "Nakon svih ovih godina"(power ballad) which contains, if nothing else, the most memorable Hammond solo from the non-70's, appealing even to thenon-demanding musical audience! Generally, the BIJELO DUGME's swan song is quite weak , and it's not recommended for a prog rock collection. It's recommendedfor the fans of BIJELO DUGME, Yu-rock in general and for nostalgic reasons maybe. social review comments Review Permalink
Posted Saturday, October 27, 2007 Review this album Report (Review #147473)
Ćiribiribela je deveti in zadnji studijski album jugoslovanske rock skupine Bijelo dugme, ki je izšel leta 1988. Ćiribiribela je bila zadnja izdaja skupine (brez kompilacijskih albumov) pred ponovno združitvijo skupine leta 2005 in albumom v živo Turneja 2005: Sarajevo, Zagreb, Beograd.[1]
Snemanje albuma je razkrilo krizo v skupini. Pesmi Lijepa naša in Evo, zakleću se sta zaigrala studijski glasbenik Nenad Stefanović Japanac na bas kitari in član skupine Bajaga i instruktori Vladimir Vlajko Golubović na bobnih, kar je povzročilo spore med Bregovićem ter basistom Bijelega dugmeta Zoranom Redžićem in bobnarjem Ipom Ivandićem.[5]
Med delom na albumu Ćiribiribela se je voditelj Bijelega Dugmeta očitno znova, a zdaj še bolj drastično kot pred dvema letoma, znašel v situaciji, v kateri mora biti, promovirajoč jugoslovanstvo, hkrati tudi Srb, Hrvat, Musliman in vse ostalo.[7]
Po izidu albuma se je Radiotelevizija Beograd (RTB) odločila financirati in producirati videospot za pesem Đurđevdan je, a ja nisam s onom koju volim. Prvotna zamisel je bila, da bi video prikazoval ikonografijo po navdihu srbske vojske v prvi svetovni vojni.[9] Snemanje videa je bilo organizirano v vasi Koraćica v osrednji Srbiji.[9] Skupina je domnevno prišla na snemanje videospota, ne da bi vedela karkoli o konceptu videa, ki naj bi ga posneli.[10] Člani skupine naj bi poleg starega orožja nosili tudi vojaške uniforme brez oznak, vendar se je Islamoviću to zdelo preveč provojno in ni hotel nositi vojaške uniforme.[10] Sčasoma sta skupina in režiser spota dosegla dogovor: vsi razen Islamovića so bili oblečeni v srbske narodne noše, pri čemer je bilo uporabljenih le nekaj originalnih rekvizitov.[11] Kljub temu so se po snemanju videa v vodstvu Radiotelevizije Beograd sami odločili, da ga ne bodo predvajali, saj so se bali, da bi spominjal na četniško gibanje.[11]
