Poslušajte jednu ilahiju sa ovog albuma/Listen to one nasheed from this album: Yusuf Islam - Mother, father, sister, brother
Album “I Have No Cannons That Roar” (prijevod: “Ja nemam topove što grme”) je snimljen 1998 godine. Album je posvećen rahmetli dr. Irfanu Ljubijankiću, bivšem ministru vanjskih poslova Bosne i Hercegovine. Dr. Irfan Ljubijankić je poginuo 28. maja 1995. godine. Helikopter kojim se vraćao iz rodnog Bihaća u Zagreb oboren je raketom Srba nedaleko od hrvatsko-bosanske granice, u blizini Velike Kladuše. Nekoliko mjeseci prije toga dr. Ljubijankić je u posjeti Londonu poklonio Yusufu Islamu pjesmu “I Have No Cannons That Roar”, koju je sam napisao i snimio. Njegova želja je bila da Yusuf koristi tu pjesmu kao jedan vid pomoći Bosanskim muslimanima. Nakon smrti dr. Ljubijankića pjesma je prevedena na engleski jezik. Pjesmi “I Have No Cannons That Roar” dodani su još neki od tradicionalnih bosanskih pjesama i ilahija, koji su bili veoma popularni za vrijeme rata u Bosni i Hercegovini. Yusuf Islam je napisao i dvije pjesme specijalno za ovaj album. Bio je toj njegov povratak muzici nakon dugo vremena. Želja Yusufa Islama bila je da ovim albumom oda počast Bosanskim muslimanima i njihovoj herojskoj odbrani svoje zemlje, vjere i kulture od agresora.
Pored pjesama Yusufa Islama i Abd al-Lateef Whitemana, koje su na engleskom jeziku, ostale ilahije i pjesme su na bosanskom jeziku, a izvode ih Senad Podojak, Aziz Alili, Burhan Šaban i Dino Merlin.
Yusuf Islam je 1999. god. za magazin Islamica napisao članak o agresiji na Bosnu i Hercegovinu, razlozima za ovaj album, svoj povratak muzici itd. Tekst možete pročitati ovdje.
English:
This album is dedicated to the memory of Irfan Ljubijankić who sadly died towards the end of the Bosnian war in 1995 when the helicopter he was flying in was shot down by a Serb rocket. He had been visting his beloved home town of Bihać, at that time the front line against the attacking forces. A few month earlier in his role as the Foreign Minister of Bosnia he had been in London. Whilst there he met Yusuf Islam to whom he gave a rough cassette of a song he had written and recorded at home, entitled «I Have No Cannons That Roar», the title track of this album. His thought was that Yusuf would use it in some way to help the Bosnian cause. The song was subsequently translated into English and combined with other songs famous in Bosnia during the war. Some of the songs are included here without change but others were re-recorded in London and Stuttgart together with to new songs specially written for this project by Yusuf.
Dr Irfan’s martyrdom was the catalyst which brought about this album. We hope it is a just tribute to the people of Bosnia and their courageous defence of their country, faith and culture against terrible odds. It is intended to give a glimpse into their unique music, shown here in the context of the modern world that they have been suddenly and brutally forced to be part of. Most of the melody lines are traditional but have been arranged in a popular format with new lyrics appropriate to the desperate situation in Bosnia at that time. It is a music which faces East and West at the same time: truly a music from the cultural fault line of europe.
