Taga Za Jug

from Mostovi (1998) by Viktor & Super Nova

/

about

The Macedonian phrase Taga Za Jug Југ (Тага За Југ) meaning 'longing for south' takes its title from a poem written by Konstantin Miladinov around 1850's. This instrumental, as well as the poem, express the longing of someone from the south (of Europe) living in its northern parts, desiring to get back and feel again the sunshine and warmth of its people.

What's interesting about this song?

It's the combination of Rock and Blues on one side, expressed by Minor Pentatonic Scale; the sound of the Electric Guitar with distortion and all the typically rock guitar technique used: hammer-ons and pull-offs, bending, as well the tremolo and vibrato; the arrangement of the drums in rock-fashion; and the Balkan offerings on the other side, starting with the 7/8 odd-time signature and the way the minor scales are used.

This combination of Rock, Blues and Balkan seems to blend naturally and seamlessly in this composition.
