Ljubo Granata (Serbian Cyrillic: Љубо Граната), commonly referred to as Udri brate ne žali granate, is the fourth studio album and first war-related album by singer Ljubiša Kalas, released some time in 1993, by the Master and RTVJ. While not much is known on the album's development, this is the only documented occasion where "Ljubo Granata" was used to refer to Kalas.

Background

Ljubo Granata's contents, while still patriotic in nature, would have darker themes compared to other albums made in its time. This would be the third time Kalas would work with lyricist Rade Vidić with the first being 1990's Ljubiša Kalas and the second being 1991's Crna žena. As a result, Kalas would sing "Karađorđe diko", a song performed by Vojslav Tintor two years prior[1], written by Vidić. The song, "Nema oca, nema majke" was originally from Ljubiša Kalas, originally titled "Nema oca da pokosi travu"[2]. It was included to fit the theming of the album, though the arranger would be left uncredited and its length noticeably absent on the j-card. The song, "Zorane, Zorane" would be about Zoran Borovina, a commander who was killed in action a year prior.

While the significance of "Ljubo Granata" is unknown, it is assumed that it was either for promotional purposes, a name given to Kalas during the war, or acknowledging authorship of "Udri brate ne žali granate" where its size and placement on the cover implies that it was most well-known song on the album.

Release

Ljubo Granata was released some time in 1993 by the Master Music Company in both Yugoslavia and Germany. RTVJ would release the album in Switzerland, though all known copies of this version would have the final track "Karađorđe diko" fade out prematurely.

Due to overlapping staff (mainly engineer Sead Lorbek and the arranger Miki Mitrović) and Master typically acquiring albums from other companies, it is speculated that Jugohit was the original distributor of the album, though there has been nothing to substantiate the claim.

The song "Udri brate ne žali granate" would receive radio play and in present day, "Zorane, Zorane" would have a cult following as it is one of two surviving songs about Commander Zoran Borovina. With Master and RTVJ defunct and surviving uploads and a scan in low quality, it is assumed that master of the album, as well as other works published by Master are lost. On Christmas Day, 2022, user RandomAtribute20k would upload the album in better quality, though the last track would not be uploaded in full since the Swiss version was used.
