Nie sme od SKopje // We are from Skopje
is a song that developed as an idea which managed to grow in to a credo for several generations of progressive thinking people in Skopje, Macedonia. In the last 15 years, local musicians scored almost 30 different visions of this song. Some of those became real radio and dance floor hits, some found their way in films… but the idea basically took over and produced unprecedented creativity, which added substance to thee spiritual growth of our city.
This is completely new set of music on the subject. Quite fresh and contemporary. Jazzy, dubby, clubby, electrifying… it will hold your (shorten) attention (span). It will tell you a story about one of culturally most potent and fragile European capitals. It will sing you a song over and over without getting bored.
We should probably treat this song as a prophecy fulfilled, but being reasonable and modest, we will offer it as a new chapter in an ongoing contemplation, above whatever cultural progress we should achieve here in Skopje. A challenge to ourselves so we can do better. We must.
