NOVI GERMAICA SIGNING DOBIO NAGRADU ZA “NAJBOLJE DEBITANTE” NA SPLITSKOM FESTIVALU ’09 – NEW GERMAICA SIGNING AWARDED “BEST NEWCOMER” AT SPLITSKI FESTIVAL ’09
English version below…
U svjetlu približavanja deseto-godišnjice GERMAICA krajem ove godine određeni krugovi se zatvaraju. 6tog Maja 1989 producenti od klasičnog GERMAICA riddima “Messer Banzani” rođaci TOM i PIONEAR osnovali su prvi istočno-njemački Ska i Reggae Band ikad-također zvan “Messer Banzani” a ime kao hommage Marcu Polu.
Ovaj poznati venecijanski svjetski putnik rođen je na danas hrvatskom otoku Korčuli kao i DONNA BOSANCHERA od LAS BALKANIERAS – ženski vocal Trio i GERMAICAN najnoviji signing. Danas, 20 godina kasnije, u Julu 2009 godine ona i druge članice benda BALKANIERA MEDITERANOVIĆ i Ms. RUSSIA osvojile su nagradu za “Najboljeg Debitanta” na jednom od značajnijih hrvatskih festivala “Splitski 09” sa svojom interpretacijom od “Messer Banzani”- riddima “Ćiribiribella”! Grad festivala Split je udaljen od Korčule oko 50 milja…
Cure, koje trenutno žive u Düsseldorf/Njemačkoj uzrokovale su pomutnju donoseći dašak svježeg zraka u inače konzervativan festival. U njihovom nastupu sudjelovala je dječija plesna grupa “Sindbad” iz Šibenika, rodnog grada BALKANIERE MEDITERANOVIĆ i s time su uklopile svoje balkansko-slavenske korjene sa međunarodnom produkcijom i zvukom.
Reakcija media na dobitak nagrade na Splitskom Festivalu i na neočekivan ali uspješan nastup na memorialnom koncertu “Kontra Regula” za hrvatsku Funk legendu DINO DVORNIK bila je burna i pozitivna. Pjesma “Ćiribiribella” s festivala može se čuti na svim radio stanicama i postaje ljetni hit za LAS BALKANIERAS i nijhov debi…
Pjesma će uskoro biti izdana međunarodno, provjeravajte novosti!

English version:
Running up to the 10 year anniversary of GERMAICA later this year certain circles are closing… May 6th 1989 the producers of the classic GERMAICA riddim “Messer Banzani” – cousins TOM and PIONEAR – founded the first East German Ska & Reggae band ever – also called “Messer Banzani” – the name being a hommage to the Marco Polo times of old. This famous Venetian globe trotter was born at the now Croatian island of “Korčula” just like DONNA BOSANCHERA of LAS BALKANIERAS – a female vocal trio and GERMAICAs latest signing. Today 20 years later in July 2009 her and fellow band members BALKANIERA MEDITERANOVIĆ and Ms. RUSSIA winning the “Best Newcomer” award at Croatia’s most prolific annual song festival “Splitski ’09” with their interpretation of the “Messer Banzani” riddim called “Ćiribiribella”! The festival city Split is about 50 miles away from “Korčula”…
The ladies – currently residing in Düsseldorf/Germany – caused quiet a stir bringing a breath of fresh air to the rather conservative festival. Their performance featured Children’s Dance Group “Sindbad” from Šibenik – home town of BALKANIERA MEDITERANOVIĆ and incorporated references to their Slavic background combined with an international production and sound.
Following the award as well as a successful surprise appearance at the memorial show for Croatian Funk legend DINO DVORNIK the media response was overwhelming and the festival song “Ćiribiribela” is already being heard on all local radio stations developing into a summer hit for LAS BALKANIERAS and their debut single…
The tune will be released internationally shortly, check back for news!
