Ljubo Granata: Difference between revisions

''Ljubo Granata''<nowiki/>'s contents, while still patriotic in nature, has a darker tone compared to other albums made in its time. This would be the third time Ljubiša Kalas would work with lyricist Rade Vidić with the first being 1990's ''[[Ljubiša Kalas (Album)|Ljubiša Kalas]]'' and the second being 1991's ''[[Crna žena]]''. As a result, Kalas would sing "Karađorđe diko", a song that was also performed by Vojslav Tintor two years prior<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2jsXTWx9MY Vojislav Vojo Tintor Karadjordje, diko Audio 1991 HD]. Српска Архива. 28 September 2018. Retrieved 4 October 2023.</ref>. The song, "Nema oca, nema majke" was originally from the 1990 album Ljubiša Kalas. Originally titled "Nema oca da pokosi travu",<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDPy5c7jcWQ Ljubisa Kalas - Nema oca da pokosi travu - (Audio 1990)]. Diskos Official. 31 August 2018.

The song, "Zorane, Zorane" would be about Zoran Borovina, a commander who was killed in action a year prior.

''Ljubo Granata'' was released some time in 1993 by the Master Music Company. It was also released by RTVJ for Swiss distribution, though the last track prematurely fades out. 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. With Master and RTVJ defunct, and surviving uploads and scan in low quality, the master of the album is lost. On Christmas Day, 2022, user RandomAtribute20k would upload the album in better quality, though the last track would be prematurely cut off due to the Swiss version being used.
