 Ivana Babic / Yammat by diocletianvs
Their first album "Plan B" is advertised as "collection for relaxing, travel and other metally active activities" so each VT-er should give them a try.
They already received the "Black Cat Award" for the best Music Potential and some of their videos also received prizes for video filmography.
You can listen to most of the songs from their album if you visit their website (click on Plan B). Leave a Comment

 Josipa Lisac by diocletianvs
Those are all the words that are inevitable in all texts about Josipa Lisac. She started her music career in 1973 and in the last 30 years has been the most original Croatian artist - always fresh, unique and powerful. She never cared for stereotypes and cliches, her songs are full of emotions and her performances always guarantee the unusual visual effect.
The First Lady of Croatian Music - Josipa Lisac continues to surprise with her unique voice and extravagant style.
If you manage to find them, I suggest her albums Boginja from 1987 and Zivot from 2000 as well as The best of Josipa Lisac from 1998 or an 8-CD collection of her songs released in 1997 under the name Antologija . Leave a Comment

The name kuna, meaning "marten", has its origin in ancient times, when marten's fur was used as a trade unit. The word lipa means "linden-tree".
The Kuna has a long tradition of use in Croatia. As far back as 1256, a local currency displaying the kuna was issued in Slavonia, which was the first known use of the kuna on Croatian coins.
The Croatian coins are very beautiful. On the face side is the value and on the reverse, either a local plant or a local animal. On coins minted on odd years, the scientific latin name is given and the Croat name on even years.
The 10 lipa, tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum), Duhan
The 5 lipa, oak (Quercus robur), Hrast Luznjak
The 2 lipa, wine (Vitis vinifera), Vinova Loza
The 1 lipa, corn ears (Zea mays), Kukuruz
On the photo you will see both sides and whenever possible a 'Latin written' coin and a 'Croatian written' one.
One and two lipas are very seldom found.
Some of the information of these tips have been burrowed from Bank of Croatia where more details are available. Leave a Comment

The official language in Croatia is Croatian & it belongs to the southern Slavic group of Indo-European languages. It is written in the Latin script & it has some specific sounds & letters, e.g. č, ć, đ, ž & š. People ususally say it reminds them of Russian with all those shushy sounds, but it's not that similar. It is extremely rich [morphology, lexic, swearwords aso.], but it is said to be extremely hard to learn [according to a pole even one of the hardest languages in the world to learn!],. Of course, I can't be the judge of that, but sometimes it's just impossible to explain people why a specific work should be in a specific form. There are some courses & books, but without someone to help you out, I suppose it'd be quite hard to learn it. If you want to know something more though, visit this page or ask me - I'll try to help you out [at least with the most important words like pivo, bok & banana, hehe...]. ;) Leave a Comment
