No Smoking
Feb 03, 2003, 20:31
Anyone seen the Yugoslav films 'Underground' or 'Black Cat, White Cat' ?
I've only seen the former but it was good, about partisans fighting the nazis who hide underground and whose pal on the outside doesn't tell them the wars overs. Its got surreal moments in it like when they build a tank, but one of the best things in it is the music, all jumping violins and accordions, quite Romanay.
Its by a Sarajevian band called Zabranjeno Pusenje - the No Smoking orchestra - and their later stuff is well worth a listen, seemingly they were one of the biggest bands in central Europe.
Most of it is Serbo-Croat but theres a few songs in English, including 'In the Death Car' sung by Iggy Pop. I'd also recommend Pitbull or Sunflower (bubamara) or anything by Goran Bregovic ( who may actually be part of the band but I can't work that out).
