Bohaté info o kapele som získal vďaka kamoške z Macedónska/info about band taken from seminar work from University
Ss Cyril and Methodius-Skopje, Faculty
of Music :
The founder and the leader of the band Blla Blla Blla ... is Idriz Ameti, who as a teenager was part of the band Wunder Kind. Idriz Amieti was a member and vocalist in the band Last Expedition, who left it in the fall of 1987. Then Idriz with the support of his friends from the same street decided to make his own composition that will fully reflect his ideas on rock and roll band. This decision will lead to the creation of another significant band on the Macedonian rock scene, which has the settlement in the area of Gjorce Petrov, or more precisely on the street "4 July" for its permanent place of living and creation. The band's first lineup consisted of Idriz Ameti as a vocalist, Amir Siaric on bass and Goce Gogov-Hipo on drums. The first name of the new band was Mbretëresha Teuta (Queen Teuta), which was not accepted by the organizers of the group gig in 1988 at the Zef Lush Marku Gymnasium, where Arena and Saygon also took part in the event, and with purpose just to perform, Idriz pronounce the name that continues to this day, Blla Blla Blla ...In
the first period of the existence, the members are not very active,
and usually have gigs and garage shows in Gjorce Petrov. In the mid
of 1989, the band would accidentally look at the advertisement in a
magazine that referred to open calll for participation at the
Slovenian Music festival for young bands "Novi Rock". Blla
bola bola enrolled and performed in the competition part of this
festival, on September 14, 1990. Apart from Idriz, the members of the
band were often changed, so new members of the band for this
performance were: Dimitar Petrov on drums, Tefik
Ibrahimi of bass and Muhammad Ibrahimi on guitar. At the
concert the band was noticed by the independent record house from
Maribor, "Front Rock", which wiould offer the band a
four-track EP release. Shortly after returning from Ljubljana in
early 1991, the bend recorded the demos of two songs, Kush kish thanë
and Lufta psiqike, in Robert Sazdov's studio "Rosa".
These recordings have been lost today, just like the next 4 that they
are specifically recording for the EP and sending them to Maribor.
Unfortunately, that year the riots begin in Yugoslavia and soon and
disintegration of the state so the contract with Front rock from
Maribor was not released.The first concert appearance of the band after a longer period of
resignation from the overall militarized situation is at the ‘Stop
The Madness’ festival, held in MKC
(Mladinski kulturen centar/Youth cultural center) on October 30,
1993. After this concert, there follows a long period in which the
band was active, gaining true cult status in the Macedonian
underground circles, especially from the moment of the beginning of
1999, when the violinist Ermalj Shkupi enrolls the band. The first
significant presentation of the new progressive sound recognized with
the violin of Ermalj, still as a demo band, takes place at the
concert that supports MCMS campaign "It's All When When You have
All" held on July 1, 1999. Although the debut album material was
recorded by the band in May 1999 in the Mozart studio, the
realization would happen the next 2000, when the self title album
would be promoted from record label "Bagi
Music”. The wonderful design is twork of Idriz Ameti and
Dimitar Petrov, and the realization is on Alen Milanov. The song that
will mark this material and the subsequent career of the band is, of
course, Babayaro. On
the album, we could hear the sound created in the previous two years
characterized with a progressive expression and
dominant violin section. The new members,
besides Idriz and Ermalj, are also the rhythm section from Last
Expedition, Vlatko Janevskii and Dimitar Petrov. Somewhere in this
period, as the last relapse of the past, a joint EP with the No Name
Nation band will be realized in France. On this vinyl we could find
three live songs from the show in Ljubljana at the festival "Novi
Rock 9000"...
Blla
Blla Blla ... is the only group that can express the general spirit
of the Albanians and the Balkans - the collective stupidity, the
madness of change, the captured power of the leaders, the severe
suffering, the eternal war between the contrasts and the celebration
of the unattainable are expressed in a very special way in the music
of Blla Blla Blla .... It would not be too much to say that this is
the most successful and the best Albanian music band. Their three
albums: in Blla Blla Blla ... in 2000, Oversky Balkan Re-form in
2005, and Lamtumirë in 2011 are albums
where all the songs are masterpieces. It is remarkable how they were
able to maintain themselves in such a high artistic level with
everything they wrote. Their music is wonderful precisely because it
clearly expresses the struggle between the sound and the word...
