„Ojda!" je prvi studijski album benda „Rakija". Snimljen je u aprilu 2011. godine u Silverton studiju, u Fredrikstadu, u Norveskoj, uz finansijsku pomoc Fonda za podrsku umetnickim stvaraocima Norveske i Norveskog saveta za kulturu (Fond for Utøvende Kunstnere i Norsk kulturråd).

Na CD-u se nalazi osam kompozicija, u cijoj osnovi je etno zvuk balkanskih prostora. On odzvanja i u autorskim pesmama koje su, nalik sastavu benda, mesavina tradicionalne, rok i, tu i tamo, klasicne muzike.

Album „Ojda!" bice u prodaji od 1. septembra sirom Srbije i Norveske, a moze se naruciti i preko sajta Rakijine izdavacke kuce „Rakija Records", www.rakijarecords.no.

U okviru promocije, frontmen Rakije, Janko Radovanovic (gitara), govorice o pocecima i brojnim nastupima benda, od kojih su neki vrlo zapazeni; pored ovogodisnjeg Rakijinog nastupa, u vidu predgrupe na koncertu Sanje Ilica i Balkanike u Oslu, tu je i Rakijin proslogodisnji koncert u klubu Akademije 28, u Beogradu, ali i 100-njak drugih.

Na promociji ce, pored originalnih pesama sa novog albuma, biti prikazani i video snimci Rakijinih nastupa sa proslogodisnje turneje po Srbiji, a promocija ce ujedno, biti i prilika da se uzivo cuju i neke od Rakijinih melodija, karakteristicnog etno prizvuka, u Jankovom izvodjenju na akusticnoj gitari.

Predstavnici medija imace priliku da, u formi postavljanja pitanja, dobiju ekskluzivne informacije o ovom norvesko-srpskom fenomenu.

Album "Ojda!" ce biti u prodaji od 1. Septembra, sirom Srbije i Norveske.

EXCLUSIVE CONSERT WITH :
*** Sanja Ilic & Balkanika Brass Orchestra ***
_________________________________________________

If there is one concert you are going to this year, this is the one ...

Music is the only world language that needs no translation, and sometimes it is so beautifully performed that even the feelings one is left with is hard to describe. This particularly applies to the music of the legendary composer and song writer Aleksandar Sanja Ilic and his ensamble - Balkanika Brass Orchestra.

Music performed by "Balkanika" is inspired by the folklore of the Balkans. Old music from Balkan with splendid musicians playing traditional instruments, modern orchestrated, performing music which conjures the atmosphere of the Balkan region, in a new outfit for the new millennium. Sanja's group, called "Balkanika", consists of young and talented musicians oriented to ethnic music. "Balkanika"is a very interesting ethno band playing old Balkan instruments with modern feeling and reason.

He has toured worldwide with his Balkanika concept and for the first time he goes on stage in Scandinavia for a festive crowd at Rockefeller in Oslo.
