Mali Radojica - Epic Slavic Music of Serbia

A reupload from the original version posted earlier today--some people reported distortion due to the volume being too high so I removed some vocal parts and some instrumental parts.
Music arranged by Farya Faraji, based on folkloric motifs from the Balkans. This is another piece in the style of Balkanic music from Serbia, Bulgaria, and neighbouring Slavic countries. The instrumentation uses that of 16th to 19th century Balkans such as the kaval flute, the gaida bagpipe, a saz and percussions; my main inspiration being Kulin Ban's music, as I try to emulate their style and sound, go check them out if you like this style of music.
Mila Radojica is a figure in the cycles of Serbian epic poetry, traditionally recited on the gusle heard at the beginning of the song. He is a hajduk: real historical figures who were freedom fighters against the Ottoman occupiers, and were often bandits and highwaymen: they persist today in Balkanic folklore as Robin Hood-esque figures that often fight for the weak and the oppressed. Mila's story begins as he is captured and tortured by the Turks, but escapes with the help of a Turkish girl who falls in love with him.
