» Богдан ( сербская кириллица : Zvonimir «Zvonko» Bogdan ; родился 5 января 1942) — сербский буневацкий исполнитель традиционных народных песен Сербии Звонимир « Звонко , Хорватии , Венгрии и Румынии . Он также является композитором, производителем вина и гонщиком .

Биография

Он родился в городе Сомбор (современная Воеводина , Сербия) во время Второй мировой войны в семье Буневац , когда эта часть Югославии находилась под венгерской оккупацией Оси . Детство провел на салаше (ферме) своего деда по материнской линии Стипана Кукурузара; другой его дедушка, Франя, был кучером , музыкантом на тамбурице и любителем жизни . После непродолжительного приключения в местном театре Сомбора он в возрасте 19 лет отправился в Белград , чтобы поступить в драматическую академию, и начал петь в белградских кафанах , чтобы заработать себе на жизнь, и нашел себя на этой работе. ^{[ 1 ]} Помолвка в белградском отеле «Юнион», месте встреч многочисленных журналистов и представителей богемы, способствовала его карьере; на протяжении почти 30 лет он пел в «Юнионе» всякий раз, когда приезжал в Белград. ^{[ 1 ]}^{[ 2 ]} His first solo concert was held at Kalemegdan terrace. In 1971, he recorded "Ej salaši na severu Bačke" (Hey Salašes in the North of Bačka), the song he would be forever remembered for.^[1] From 1972, he performed with Janika Balaž's orchestra on Novi Sad's Petrovaradin Fortress, a hallmark of tamburitza music.^[1]^[3]

During the turbulent 1990s and Yugoslav Wars, Bogdan largely withdrew from public performances. As he explained, "Simply, I wasn't in a mood to work. Also, the piracy took so much momentum that I was sick even of thoughts of composing and music... I hope those ugly times have gone and that we would be able to live like humans again".^[2]

In 2004, Bogdan performed in Novi Sad for the Exit Festival, mostly devoted to pop and rock, also held on Petrovaradin Fortress; it was a tribute of new generations to the old bard and the site which was the cornerstone of traditional music.^[4]

Bogdan sings both the original and also the traditional songs of Vojvodina and Slavonia accompanied by the traditional tamburitza orchestra. Some of the songs he composed himself, including his most famous "Ej salaši na severu Bačke". Some of his songs are also in Hungarian and Romani.

Accompanying bands on his concerts are the Orchestra of Mile Nikolić (the successor of the famous Orchestra of Janika Balaž) from Vojvodina and the Zagrebački tamburaši from Croatia. The late Janika Balaž and still living Jerry Grcevich are his favourite tamburitza musicians and co-workers. Zvonko Bogdan is still very active and he plays in Serbia and Croatia, and all over the world where Serbian and Croatian people live.

Bogdan is also a prolific harness racer, and horses and affection for them are common themes in Bogdan's songs. He is considered one of the most successful racers of Vojvodina^[5] In 2001, at Zagreb's Hippodrome, he won the Hrvatski kasački derbi (Croatian Harness Race Derby),^[6] establishing a record that still stands.

Some of his most recognized songs are "Ej salaši na severu Bačke", "Osam tamburaša s Petrovaradina" (Eight Tamburitza Players from Petrovaradin), "Bunjevačko prelo" (Bunjevac Village Party), "U tem Somboru" (In That Sombor), "Već odavno spremam svog mrkova" (I've Been Preparing My Black Horse for a Long Time), "Ne vredi plakati" (There's No Point in Crying), "Govori se da me varaš" (There Are Rumours You're Cheating on Me), "Kraj jezera jedna kuća mala" (One Little House Next to a Lake), "Fijaker stari" (Old Fiacre), "Prošle su mnoge ljubavi" (Many Loves Have Passed) and "Ko te ima, taj te nema" (The One Who Has You, Does Not Have You).

Bogdan married his wife in Belgrade. They have two children, and three grandchildren. He has been living in Subotica since 1980.^[1]

Influence

The most prominent Croatian tamburitza artists, such as Zlatni Dukati, Kićo Slabinac and Miroslav Škoro have recorded many songs that Bogdan wrote or is known for singing them. Zlatni Dukati made an album Starogradska pjesmarica (Old Town Song Book) in 1994, with many popular Bogdan's songs.^[7] Kićo Slabinac also started to sing tamburitza songs in the 1970s and part of his repertoire is very similar to Bogdan's. Miroslav Škoro, who is an apprentice of Jerry Grchevich, has a habit to perform "Ej salaši na sjeveru Bačke" in almost every concert as dedication to Zvonko Bogdan.

In 1990, Croatian poet Drago Britvić and composer Siniša Leopold wrote a song "Svirci moji" (My Musicians) specifically for Zvonko Bogdan, for him to perform at the traditional Zlatne žice Slavonije festival of tamburitza songs in Požega, Croatia. Because of the Yugoslav crisis, Bogdan did not have a chance to make his performance, but Đuka Čajić stepped in and won the festival. It took more than a decade for Bogdan to perform the song before an audience. In the Croatian Radiotelevision show Hit do hita (Hit After a Hit) in April 2004, Zvonko Bogdan finally gave his premiere of "Svirci moji". Since then, it has become a regular song in his repertoire. Krunoslav Slabinac and Zlatni Dukati also recorded their version of this song, which became a tamburitza classic.
