Rhokeheart This is called world music because these tribal grooves make everyone in the world want to dance. The biggest surprise to me is that are from Seattle. A very cool album that offers something everyone can appreciate. Favorite track: House of Labor.

Cyril Glaume Plus punk et méridional que Russkaja, Kultur Shock propose un rêve de brassage musico-culturel fructueux à cheval entre Balkans, grosses guitares, mélopées méditerranéennes et risettes nawak. Je ne saurais vous dire si Ministry of Kultur est le meilleur de leurs albums, mais si ce n’est pas le cas – Nindidju! –, ça promet!

Mujo Kuje 03:11
Mujo kuje Mujo kuje konja po mjesecu Mujo kuje, a majka ga kune Sine mujo ziv ne bio majci Ne kuju se konji po mjesecu Vec po danu I zarkome suncu Mila majko ne kuni me mlada Znas kas meni na um padne draga Ja ne gledam sunca I mjeseca Nit moj doro pije vode hladne

Don't Shoot me! Many years ago I met the solider Didn't mean it- just was following the orders Felt no glory, no pride, no faith, no honnor any more I looked at the eyes of squat of fire No desire, just cold confused & tired Real fear you know when you're not afraid any more Just wanna go home Djelem djelem Lungo ne dro mesa Maladilem shukare romenca Kai sem devla chororo Bahtalo! Don't shoot me Cause you never gonna sleep your country's not worth your tears Rich man fears the wrath of terror Poor man fears a war Rich man's war is poor man terror Terror's poor man's war

Duga 04:10
Duga I am not afraid of the rain I'm an optimist Not afraid of rainbow Why should I be I am not afraid of Birds that I don't know I am not afraid (not afraid) Of a Boogieman Boogieman and I have set Mutual respect He doesn't throw his cigarets In my toilet And I don't pee In his ashtray I am not afraid of the war I'm from Sarajevo Organized religions of the death We fear and respect But we will hunt you down if you different I am not afraid of law I'm an anarchist Not afraid of law, 'cause Nobody I know respects the law Open my eyes, and when the sky is falling I can sleep forever 'Cause I saw the morning (I come from the strange and troubled place where being fifferent is a discrase. Murderes and scums are more close to us than out brothers sisters and best friends, we trust. Didn't we learn through out the history- if one of us suffers nobody's free)

Tamni Vilajet Dje je tamni vilajet? Nikada niko na svijetu nije Nikoga zajebo ko svoj svog Do juce smo bili sto danas necemo A nismo postali nista drugo Preziru nas braca-preziru stranci A mi se branimo mrznjom I ponosom Stid nas je pogledat unazad A nemamo kuda naprijed Prosto Kao rukavac sto ga je bujica Odvojila od majke rijeke Pa sada nema ni toka ni usca Mali za jezero-velik da presahne Nesreca je sto smo zavoljeli ovu mrtvaju I ne mozemo iz nje. A sve se placa pa I ova ljubav. Ja sam tamni vilajet

House of labor Welcome brother and neighbor In my house of labor In my city of pain Country of the insane Schadenfreude heute Was ist loss mit leute (Was ist loss mit leute heute) Armen haus-Warum arbeiten Aman aman Warior or shaman Tobe yarabi aman aman My lies to myself Lies to my people Lies from my past, present & future Made me sick to my stomach Made me hide my pride Made me hide my life Forget my kultur I wanted to find My new self in a new world But I got so lost What the fuck did I do- Lies! Raditi, Hraniti, Spavati Voliti, Gubiti, Plakati Graditi, Stvoritii, Srusiti Roditi Se I ziviti Ljubiti, Grliti, Zeliti Mrziti, Pucati, Ubiti Otici Ili ostati Stariti I najzad umrijeti

She works in a coal mine She works in a cole mine She doesn't go out She lives your fear: A hard core life She works in a cole mine Doesn't go out She lives your fear A hard core life That's why- She doesn't like music That's why She likes the tribal sound She works in a cole mine She can kick you ass Doesn't fuck around Doesn't fall in love That's why That's why She doesn't like music That's why She likes the tribal sound She works in a cole mine Doesn't waste time Doesn't date girls Doesn't date guys That's why That's why She doesn't like music That's why She likes the tribal sound

The time is over the time is gone And I will go away Yesterday is now today Yesterday is now today Tomorrow Vanishing before our eyes And I just stand and smile I just wanna wave good bye I just wanna wave good bye

Eo eo nema vise/ fertich/ basta Eo eo no more no more Our future In the holly land of ice Is beautiful and cold Better beautiful than old Better beautiful than old My people Living in their world of shame And thousand years of rain I just wanna stay insane I just wanna stay insane. Godinama mi se spava Sudbina Mi nije dala Volim te Vise od dana Volim te Nek bude tama
