I am a retired electrical engineer who decided to start busking.
I played guitar for a long time but I started playing harmonica only recently just because of Bob Dylan's "Sara".

"The Lion's Roar", First Aid Kit - Cover by ALIJA KAJAN
This nice song is quite catchy and I couldn't resist to record it.
I shifted the original intonation to suit my vocals.
The solo is done on E-key diatonic harmonica.
I added bass guitar in the end, so for best listening experience please use the head phones.

"La valse d'Amélie", Yann Tiersen - Guitar and harmonica cover by Alija Kajan

I played this tune at Sydney French Festival (Bastille Day) and I like it a lot. The original is played on accordion so this is a somewhat simplified version with guitar, harmonica and bass guitar. The harmonica is in C key. The video was shot at beautiful Coogee Beach in Sydney.

This is a beautiful song by Aussie Pete Murray who, in my opinion, is very underrated artist. I was instantly hooked when I heard it for the first time. This cover is my humble attempt to capture the essence and beauty of this song.

I accidentally discovered this song after reading a paper article about Sixto's passing few months ago. So this song is a tribute to Sixto Rodriguez. When I decided to do a cover I was looking how to play bass track for it and came across video with Moyra Brown's bass cover of this song ( www.youtube.com/@mattymoi ). She was very generous and offered to play bass guitar in this cover so big tha...
"Golden Brown", Stranglers - Acoustic Cover by Alija Kajan

I love this song and I didn't mind to put a bit of effort in order to put together something more challenging than before. There are seven tracks altogether in this song. After recording two tracks on acoustic guitar, followed by vocals (2 tracks required), I decided to try recording bass guitar as well. I never played bass guitar before, I don't have one - so I borrowed it, thanks to Robert Sh...

This is the first song where I introduced a very simple percussion, just to keep the beat going. I also added solo guitar "ornaments" as they really sound nice on the original track. I love this song because it raises the awareness about homeless people. (Image courtesy of Ilse Orsel)

After finally getting steel strings guitar (Ovation Standard), it was time to record this beautiful song. There are few versions of it but I was inclined towards "Live at Farm Aid 1985" Neil's live performance. For those interested to play this song, the guitar is in "Dropped Standard" (DGCFAD) tuning and harmonica is diatonic in B-flat key.

It's been 52 years since this song has been recorded but it still sounds fresh and inspiring, thank you Mr Young.

This is the latest addition to my busking repertoire, it is a nice and easy going song, I must admit that I slightly changed harmonica bits. This song being no exception, it is Bob Dylan's trademark, the lyrics are so powerful and timeless.

This is one of my favorite songs from Crowded House. It is now part of my busking repertoire and I think lot of people like it.

My first "Crowded House" song, I hope to do a few more, I love this band. "Into Temptation" is a lovely song, there are few instrumental bits I think played on cello, that I tried to do on harmonica. I was surprised that there are not more covers of this song on RUclips.

I must admit that I haven't heard this song before but after friend of mine told me about it I was instantly hooked. I am sure this could be recorded even better in a studio and with support of some percussion. I am getting a stompbox soon and will perform with it during my busking gigs. Now, what's the story with a hat? I owe you an explanation, after getting the most terrible haircut I had to...
