• Even though this is "Tamburaland", I cannot help to post a few variations of music, as was the last post. This next post is the first song from Bosna that I have put here. It is called Jos ne Svice Rujna Zora, the author and performers are unknown. There is not too much tambura in this one but this one is excellent.

5.6.2002

• Zvonko Bogdan had made many recordings with numerous different artists and bands. One recording he had made that is not to popular here in this counrty is and album with his former professor. This album was recorded on piano and solo voice. Piano player is Ladislav Balog. One of the songs off of this album is Tesko mi je Zaboravit Tebe. You have probably heard this song recorded with Janika Balaz but this version is closer to the original composition which was, I believe, from a Russian composer.
