This old folk song originates from Međimurje, Croatia originally performed by Bijelo Dugme (Goran Bregović like you said above) lyrics are very old, and were preserved by Vinko Žganec
Amazing performance @chaifm just got to see you for the first time today, checking your entries by bits, you carry a mean tune, keep it up 👍
In case you haven't heard the original performance "Ružica Si Bila" from Bijelo Dugme see below, check Bijelo Dugme out, they are rock pioneers from Yugoslavia that resonate to this day in the region
ha! I did not know that :) thanks for the info, what a different version :)

Are you Polish by some chance?
Do you know of amazing Dikanda, they also made some incredible covers for old Balkan folklore songs?

@chaifm you are in for a treat with Dikanda, a full on diverse gypsy/acoustic/folk music from all parts of the eastern europe, I have a feeling you might like it, maybe...you never know 😉 I'll check Katarina Malikova
Nice @chaifm "Pustvopol" is an amazing album, gone through half of it by now still listening...
First song reminded me on Bulgarian Voices, rest of it is full on diversity, great music indeed
