Vele Matevski - Spomen Moj Dale

Review by James Tobias

Vele Matevski's album, Spomen Moj Dale, is a beautiful and poignant tribute to his homeland of Macedonia. The album is a collection of traditional Macedonian songs, which are performed with a modern twist. The album is a perfect balance of old and new, with traditional instruments such as the zurla and tapan, mixed with modern electronic beats.

The album is a journey through the Macedonian countryside, with songs that evoke the beauty of the landscape, the people, and the culture. The lyrics are heartfelt and emotional, with themes of love, loss, and longing. Vele's voice is powerful and soulful, and he brings a depth of feeling to each song.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Makedonsko Devojce," a traditional Macedonian folk song that has been given a modern update. The song is upbeat and danceable, with a catchy melody that will have listeners singing along. Another highlight is "Zajdi Zajdi Jasno Sonce," a hauntingly beautiful ballad that showcases Vele's vocal range and emotional depth.
