Olga Skakavac - Susreti Sa Titom

Review by lillian van tatenhove

Olga Skakavac's album Susreti Sa Titom is a beautiful and moving tribute to the former Yugoslav leader, Josip Broz Tito. The album features a collection of patriotic and revolutionary songs, all of which were popular during Tito's reign. Skakavac's voice is strong and clear, and she infuses each song with a sense of passion and reverence. The arrangements are simple yet effective, with acoustic guitar, accordion, and percussion providing a sparse but powerful accompaniment. The standout tracks include "Tito, Titova Armija" and "Partizanske Pjesme," both of which are stirring anthems that celebrate the heroism and sacrifice of the Yugoslav Partisans during World War II. Susreti Sa Titom is a must-have for anyone interested in the music and history of Yugoslavia, and a fitting tribute to one of the country's most beloved leaders.
