Baja Mali Knindža
Mirko PajÄin (Serbian Cyrillic: ÐиÑко ÐаÑÑин; born 13 October 1966), best known by his stage name Baja Mali Knindža (Serbian Cyrillic: ÐаÑа Ðали ÐнинÑа), is a Serb folk singer, songwriter and poet. He is most known for his wartime music and remains to be one of the most popular artists in Serbia.
Early life
Baja was born on 13 October 1966 in the village of Gubin, SFR Yugoslavia (present-day Bosnia and Herzegovina).[1] While attending school, Baja claims that his Serbian language teacher, Milan PopariÄ, influenced him heavily and introduced him to poetry. He started writing songs, reciting poems, acting, and singing at a young age. He attended high school in BaÄka Palanka and ended up moving to Belgrade two years later. After graduating from high school, he initially worked at the IMT tractor factory in Belgrade, then briefly worked at the then "Tito" shipyard before finishing his mandatory military service in Livno. At the end of his military service, he started working at the Belgrade airport.
Baja became interested in singing when his friend from SurÄin invited him to a celebration he hosted. As part of the event, he was offered a microphone to sing. His performance would earn him a tip that was five times greater than his current salary, to which he said to himself, "Baja, you won't wake up early anymore".
Career
Baja would soon perform in cities like Sarajevo at the restaurant "Holidej" in ÄengiÄ vila, which was owned by a cousin of Lepi MiÄa, sharing the stage with artists like LjubiÅ¡a VasiljeviÄ.
In 1989, he contributed to writing the TromeÄa album Izvorne pjesme Dalmacije, Like i Krajine, which included one of their biggest hits, "Nema raja bez rodnoga kraja". Later in the year, Baja tried to participate in the music competition "Prvi glas Livna", but was denied when the judges found out that Baja was a professional musician and the song, "Nema raja bez rodnoga kraja" was already on an album. He was permitted to perform the song along with another song "Nemoj me lagati mila", but could not compete.[2][3]
Ne dam Krajine and mainstream success (1992-1993)
When the breakup of Yugoslavia began, Baja's would make patriotic songs about the war. Baja set out to record these songs for an album, and after he gathered just enough money to begin production, he somehow lost it all on the way to the studio. Now in debt and in search of a record label, he eventually found Jugodisk after being rejected by PGP RTS.
In 1992, he released his debut album Ne dam Krajine, and upon release, it would catapult Baja into the mainstream. Thanks to its reception from the battlefield, Baja would start on his next album.
Production issues occurred when for unknown reasons, Jugodisk was unable to publish this new album. With the help of Željko GrujiÄ, they were in talks of having the Zagreb-based Jugoton publish the album, though the deal fell through.[4] In mid-1992, he would record with GrujiÄ's label, Nina Trade and release a second album called Stan'te paÅ¡e i ustaÅ¡e, which would ended up selling 300,000 copies and even received a Platinum award at Hala Borik Banja Luka in 1997. Despite his mainstream success, Baja had a strained relationship with the media. His 1992 Poselo performance of "Pevaj Srbijo" was cut from TV broadcasting and only ever had a few select appearances on radio and TV.[5] Milovan FilipoviÄ, the event's organizer would subsequently be fired for the song's inclusion.[4]
In February 1993, Baja would release his best-selling album, ŽiveÄe ovaj narod,[6] and a live album, Sve za Srpstvo, Srpstvo nizaÅ¡ta.
Još se ništa ne zna and career at SuperTon (1993-1995)
Around late August/early September 1993, Baja would release his album and appear in many interviews regarding JoÅ¡ se niÅ¡ta ne zna. Upon release, it became one of Baja's most popular albums and would be the start of his work with SuperTon. Baja would also release a VHS tape called NajveÄi hitovi, which featured music videos for his more popular song. At the end of 1993, he would release two more albums, Rat i mir and Kockar bez sreÄe with the former containing patriotic songs and the latter containing love songs that were inspired by older, non-war material similar to his work in the mid 80's.
Baja released one album in 1994, PobediÄe istina, and it would later receive a CD release on behalf of Estrada shop along with other songs from Baja's previous albums. This technically made the CD part compilation and part album release, and was therefore given the name NajveÄi hitovi - PobediÄe istina. A second Baja VHS, Rat i mir, released, and it would feature music videos for select tracks on the Rat i Mir cassette release, as well as tracks from Kockar bez sreÄe. The poems featured in the VHS were to be compiled in his one and only book, Nedefinisan Äovek, however, it never came to fruition.
In early 1995, Baja would release three more albums: Igraju se delije, Idemo dalje, and Zbogom oružje. Igraju se delije would be the last time Goran would accompany Baja on his own albums and would also be the first collaboration with Željko JovanoviÄ. Idemo dalje was released in August of that year, shortly before Krajina fell. Shortly after the war officially ended, Zbogom oružje released in late 1995, critical of the war and the political climate at the time.
Post-war (1996-1998)
After working on side projects, Baja would depart SuperTon some time in 1997, moving to LazareviÄ Produktion where he released Ne dirajte njega in 1997. During the Serbian general elections in the same year, controversial politician Vojislav Å eÅ¡elj to approached Baja, asking him to produce a cassette with songs dedicated to Å eÅ¡elj's party, the Serbian Radical Party (abbreviated to SRS). With three songs dedicated to the party and the rest being reused material from other albums, Srpskim radikalima was released.[7] In 1998, SuperTon would release the exceedingly rare Baja compilation "The Best Off", but it's not known if Baja was directly involved with the album's production or not.
Career at Renome and subsequent hiatus (1999-2002)
In 1999, Baja went to Renome and released his last war-related album, Biti 'il ne biti. Its contents focused on the Kosovo War and subsequent NATO bombing campaign of Yugoslavia, which were ongoing at the time. Accompanied by Dragan StojkoviÄ Bosanac, he also would release Gara iz LonÄara / Život je tamo with the songs "Evo džepa, Äe su pare bile" and "Duni vjetre malo preko jetre" being one of his most popular songs. Like Kockar bez sreÄe, the album would feature no patriotic songs.
In 2000, Baja released Povratak u buduÄnost, which featured another popular track, "Samo je moj stari znao". Baja would also return to Nina Trejd one last time and release Zaljubljen i mlad which featured reimagined versions of songs from Kockar bez sreÄe as well as some new material. Around this time, Renome's sublabel, Patriot would release the compilation Moje najljepÅ¡e, one naÅ¡e ?! VaÅ¡ Baja Mali, but it's unknown if Baja had any involvement in its release.
In 2001, he released Äe si legendo which showed a change in musical direction for Baja. Rather than be solely folk, its songs would mix elements of rock and roll and pop, and no samples from the Roland Sound Canvas, which he used heavily in some of his most well known works. It would also feature a rock version of the song "KuÄa Äasti" from a previous album Baja, Igraju se delije. Renome would later release the compilation, Hitovi, although it only contained Baja songs that were released by Renome themselves.
In 2002, he released Zbogom pameti, an album that reimagined some songs from Kockar bez sreÄe, along with the songs "Ko je ljubio, taj ne ljubi viÅ¡e" and "ProÅ¡li su mi vozovi". It also contains a reimagined version of the BraÄa sa Dinare song, "LoÅ¡ uÄenik" albeit renamed to "Å ta je tebi, doÄi sebi". Zbogom Pameti also includes the duet, "Å ta ti bi", which was released a year prior on Nada ObriÄ's Tako je život hteo. Following the release of Zbogom Pameti, Baja would move primarily to live performances and he'd be more involved with the industry for the next four years. Around this time, Baja would start singing vulgar songs in his live performances, typically about women and drinking.
Za kim zvona zvone and BN Music
In 2006, Baja released Za kim zvona zvone. From Za kim zvona zvone onward, Baja's albums would incorporate elements of folk and pop. Renome would release Baja Mali Knindža i prijatelji which featured Baja and other folk artists who performed at Svijet Renomea the previous year.
In 2007, he released Gluvi barut which leaned more on the pop genre (common for the industry time of its release) and would be the last album published by Renome. Another compilation, Best of Baja Mali Knindža was also released. While Baja would occasionally return to Renome to help with songwriting, and would move to BN Music after 2008.
In 2010, he would release his first BN Music album Idemo malena, featuring notably autotuned vocals. After the death of his cousin, Kseniji PajÄin, Baja wrote a song titled "Spavaj, kraljice" in her memory.[8] The song would never receive an official release as Baja never intended to ever record it citing turmoil and grief. Despite this, the song was recorded and subsequently uploaded to the internet where it would go viral.[9] Around this time, Baja would stop singing overly nationalistic songs at live performances. He would also be routinely accompanied by rock band MinÄuÅ¡ari in live performances, contrary to a typical set-list that featured a local band. He still tours with them occasionally with the most recent appearance being in 2022.[10]
In 2012, he would release, Lesi se vraÄa kuÄi. While it would be his last album published by BN, he would work within the company until 2015 where would release a single, Tetreb.
Official Youtube channel and self-published work (2014- present)
In 2014, Baja would work on an album for Narodni pokret Dinara Drina Dunav titled, Govor duše. It includes patriotic songs in the same vein as his work from the 90's and includes an updated version of the Još se ništa ne zna song, "Nisu suze za Srbina". Despite wishes to make another album, it is the last album Baja has released to date.
On June 14, 2018, the official YouTube channel for Baja Mali Knindža would be created[11] and it would become the main place where Baja's current work would be released. Currently he only publishes singles and some live performances, and has not published any of his old work or music videos from the 90's. His most recent single would be NajÄistija beretka ''CIGO'', released April 20, 2021. While Baja continues to perform patriotic music and love songs live, their contents are not nearly as chauvinistic.
Baja has had a recent increase in popularity and still is one of the most popular singers in Serbia. In recent years, he has developed a cult following in non-Serb circles online due to the increasing awareness of his work during the war.
Live releases
During the early 2000's albums of Baja's live performances would be produced. The legitimacy of these labels are unknown and it is not known if Baja had any involvement with producing these albums. In 2002, Carisma Disc International released !!! Luda žurka !!! and SlaviÅ¡a Guja Slaja's label, Slay Production released Gara mega mix which also features Zoran Kulina and other folk artists. In 2003, a cassette titled Uživo was released, though its publisher remains anonymous. A year later, another concert recording on CD also called Uživo was released. In the same year, JoÅ¡ sad pa ko zna kad! was released both as a two part Cassette release and a two CD version. The live performance used for volume one is also used in Ajmo braÄo u kafanu. In 2006, Cronic München released Ajmo braÄo u kafanu, Gara iz NemaÄke and HoÄemo li brate zapjevati. Information regarding the performances themselves are currently unknown.
Side Projects
Baja bend
In 1994, Baja partnered with arranger Goran RadinoviÄ as Goki i Baja bend. The pair would go onto produce three albums: BraÄa sa Dinare, Život damo Krajine ne damo, and Samotnjak. After RadinoviÄ's departure from SuperTon in 1995, it would be rebranded to Baja bend. Baja bend would produce two more albums: Seobe in 1995 and Svrati posle snegova in 1996. Since then, Baja bend has been inactive.
BraÄa sa Dinare
In 1994, Baja would form a group with his younger brother, Novak PajÄin as well as a friend, Luka Mihaljica. The group would be called BraÄa sa Dinare (lit. "Brothers from Dinara") and their debut album of the same name would release the same year. Baja would be heavily involved in the second album, Bila jednom jedna zemlja as all but one track only has Baja performing. Some time after the war, Baja would give a helping hand to his cousin Lazo after expressing concerns of his career after the war.[12] Recording would take place at SuperTon during April and May of 1996 and resulted in PlaÄi voljena zemljo. In 1997, the group's label would move to Nina Trejd where the last two albums, Ja se svoga, ne odriÄem do groba and Idemo do kraja (released 1997 and 1998, respectively) would be published. While Baja himself would cover songs he wrote for the group,[13] the group itself never performed live.
Other activity
Songwriting
Career start (1985-1990)
While Baja's debut album was released in 1992, his start in the music industry would be in 1985 where he was primarily a lyricist at Jugodisk under the name "M. PajÄin Baja". His first songwriting credit would be on the Borislav LiÄanin song "Oko mene lepe žene" from the album of the same name. He would also write the song "Jasna je meni donijela sreÄu" for the 1986 album A oj Liko zaviÄajna sliko and "Kad se slože ravnice i brda" for the 1987 album of the same name. The 1990 album, Sve Å¡to imam, to mi je u lici would be the first album to feature the song "Nemoj me lagati, mila", predating its appearance in Kockar bez sreÄe by three years. In 1989, Baja would contribute to one of TromeÄe's biggest hits, "Nema raja" as he was the primary lyricist for TromeÄa's Pjesme Dalmacije, Like i Krajine. The song has since been covered by artists such as Bora DrljaÄa, MinÄuÅ¡ari, and Žare i Goci. He would contribute to the title track of the 1991 Milivoje ÄuriÅ¡iÄ album Crnogorsko Srce before releasing his debut album.
Songwriting during the break-up of Yugoslavia (1993-1995)
In 1993, Baja began to add the "Knindža" to his moniker and wrote songs for artists in PGP RTS, the label that two years prior refused to publish his debut album. He would write the song "Rastanak" with the music being composed and performed by RoÄa RaiÄeviÄ in Tako Je SuÄeno. It would also be covered by Cakana in the same year, although Baja would not be credited. He would also write the lyrics for "ÄetiÄ bez mane" for the 1993 Miloje Bubanja album, Život teÄe dalje. He would also write and compose "Äujem da me tražiÅ¡" and "Dosta je bilo lutanja" for Jane KaÄar's Smiluj se, Bože, published by Produkcija "Južni Vetar". While at Nina Trejd, he would compose and produce Goran KrajiÅ¡nik's debut album, Koridor slobode as well as contribute an early version of "Dražo" (titled "Ustani ÄiÄa Dražo") to the Boro Srbin album Ja sam Srbin. At SuperTon, he wrote the song "Prvi put" for Nina NikoliÄ's Azbuka ljubavi. Baja would also compose for Boban Zemunac's debut album, Ne daj se Srbijo moja and would feature an early version of "NeÄe biti granica na Drini". Its title track would use the tune of "Nemoj me lagati mila" and some elements in the instrumentals throughout the album would appear in later Baja albums albeit slightly altered.
While Baja only released one album in 1994, he would contribute to many albums that year. He would write the song "Princeza" for the album Maximalan by SreÄko ÄosiÄ (who would later guest star in Zbogom oružje and PlaÄi voljena zemljo). He would write the song "Kapetan Dragan" for Bora DrljaÄa on the album Nedam Krajine (whose title track is a cover of "Ne dam Krajine") and "Pismo" for the Mile Delije album, Siromah bez rodnog kraja, both released by Master Music (though the former was also released by Melos). He was the primary songwriter in the Gordan KrajiÅ¡nik album, Život damo Krajine ne damo with the formerly live-only "Nikad viÅ¡e zajedno" having an official studio release. The song "Prsti sudbine" would appear again the next year in the Nina Kay album, Nisi Taj. He would write for Rade TeÅ¡iÄ's and BraÄa sa Dinare's debut albums both published by SuperTon.
In 1995, Baja wouldn't contribute as much as the previous year as he would write the lyrics to "Stara kalja a momak u duÅ¡i" for the Bora DraljaÄa album Nema raja bez svog zaviÄaja (whose title track is a cover of "Nema raja") and wrote the song "Nestao si kao dim" for the Simona album of the same name, both being published by PGP RTS. Baja would also be the primary songwriter for Gordan KrajiÅ¡nik's Nema laži, nema prevare with a disco version of "Nema raja" (renamed to "Nema raja, bez rodnog kraja"). He would also be the primary songwriter for Bila jednom jedna zemlja and Seobe.
Post-war career (1996-1999)
In 1996, Baja would contribute to six more albums from SuperTon: Svrati posle snegova with Obrad Vukovljak, PlaÄi voljena zemljo, the songs "Pesma za ostavljene" and "Zorica" on Vojo TerziÄ's Kraljica bez krune, the title track and "Hey nevero" on Sveto JovanoviÄ's Boem, the song "Ranjeni lav" on Sveto TuliÄ's Prokleta žena, and "Å to me gledaÅ¡ kad mi nedaÅ¡" for Dar - Mar's self-titled album. At Diskos, he wrote "Imala je oÄi" and the title track for Jane KaÄar in I bogati plaÄu, "Äekala me majka" on Božo VorotiviÄ's debut album, Nedam te!, and "Ženama sam duÅ¡u dao" in Svemir Serdar's debut album Momak najbolji. He would return to Nina Trejd and would work with LiÄanin again in Äe s'tobom biti where he would write "Jedna jela sa liÄkoga prela" and "Otrov sam za žene" as well as write "Danijela" for Jadrino Jato's Oj Krajino suzo moja.
In 1997, he was the primary songwriter in Ja se svoga, ne odriÄem do groba. He would contribute to two LazareviÄ Produktion albums with the first being the primary songwriter of Jovan PeriÅ¡iÄ's debut album, Zbogom lažne ljubavi and the second being Marko ÄuronoviÄ's MomaÄko veÄe where he would write the songs "Dajte neÅ¡to veselo" and "Da li ti suza krene".
In 1998, Baja would contribute to a few more more LazareviÄ Produktion albums: he was the lyricist of the title track and "Morao sam poÄi" on Lepi MiÄa's Svaka me zima na tebe sjeÄa, the title track, "Kesteni", "Nije život sto godina", and "Žena bogataÅ¡a" for Božo VorotoviÄ's Ko Äe da te Äuva along with a reworked version of "Prvi put", and the songs "Idi, idi, drugoj", "Bila sam u zabludi", and "DuÅ¡a ranjena" on Gordana FilipoviÄ's debut album, Ogledalo devojaÄko. He would work on Miroslav MariÄ's Srce Skitnice as he wrote the songs "Ove noÄi si moja" and "Daleko u svetu". He would work again with Bora DrljaÄa on the song "PlaÄi mala plaÄi" for his self-titled album as well as "Neka piju, nek' se biju" on Biljana JevtiÄ's BogataÅ¡, both released by ZaM. He would also work on three Nina Trejd albums: VratiÄe se Danijela, Idemo do kraja, and LiÄanin bez Like by Jadrino Jato, BraÄa sa Dinare, and Borislav LiÄanin respectively. He would write three songs for the former; "VratiÄe se Danijela", "Lutalica" and "NiÅ¡ta nije kao prije", and was the primary songwriter for the latter. He would write songs for Jadrino Jato again in the Renome album Stigla danijela in which he was the primary songwriter. He would write the title track, "Volim te ludo", "Talasa se, talasa", and "Prokleta Bila" for Rade LukiÄ's Moj brat je daleko, also published by Renome. Baja would write for Boban Zemunac one more time for the album Lutalica (published by Getex). He would write the song "Pevaj mala, pevaj" for the group Srpska TromeÄa on the album of the same name and would be the last documented SuperTon album Baja would work on. Baja would not part with SuperTon until 2000, however.
In 1999, Baja wrote three songs for the Jadrino Jato album Jedna je Danijela: the title track, "Ti si moja greÅ¡ka", and "Branka PrijedorÄanka" as well as another rendition of "Rastanak". He would be the primary songwriter for Jovan PeriÅ¡iÄ's Äovek kafanski as well as writing the song "Prevede me žedna preko vode" for the Bora DrljaÄa album, RaÄa 2. It would also feature a cover of the song "Pevaj mala pevaj".
Departure from SuperTon (2000-2009)
During the 2000's, Baja's output began to slow drastically as the output he had at companies like Renome, Grand Production, and other labels during this era would not be nearly as much compared to his time at Nina Trejd and SuperTon.
In 2000, he would write for Novica TekiÄ's debut album, PlaÄe nebo, plaÄe Bog. He wrote the songs "DoÄi mala Romaniji gori" and "Ostavi me Äana" as well as adapting the title track "Motokultivator" for MiÅ¡ko CvijetiÄ in the album of the same name. The latter would become one of CvijetiÄ's most popular songs. He was the primary lyricist in Božo VorotoviÄ's Svi si odnela and TromeÄe's Pusto polje.
In 2001, he would write the song "Razvedeni", though would not contribute to the title track of the follow-up of Motokultivator, Primi me na kultivator. He also served as the primary lyricist of Sve Äu da razbijem, another Jovan PeriÅ¡iÄ album that features a reworked version of "Dva kofera" as well as the primary lyricist of another Jadrino Jato album, KrajiÅ¡ko srce.
In 2002, he was a primary lyricist for Grupa Principovi Potomci's Srpska svjeÄa.
In 2003, he wrote "VraÄam ti se Slavonijo" for Crni Biseri's debut album, Slavonijo moja. He would also contribute to some Renome albums as he wrote the title track, "Nostalgija", and "Kad pjevaju krajiÅ¡ki beÄari" for KrajiÅ¡nici iz Futoga's Zemlja preko Drine, was the primary lyricist in LjubiÅ¡a KokiÅ¡'s debut album Ljubav, and wrote the title track and "DoÄi brate" for the Jovica MihajloviÄ album, VraÄara. Baja was also the primary lyricist in MiÅ¡o DavidoviÄ's self-titled debut album, wrote "NeÄe grom u koprive" and "Ostala je ÄaÅ¡a" for Nino's Opet onaj stari and "Moj brat je daleko" for Rade LukiÄ's Prvi momak. 2003 would also be the last year Baja would use "Mirko PajÄin Baja" interchangeably with "Baja Mali Knindža" as he would drop the former entirely 2004 onwards.
In 2004, Baja and his cousin Lazo PajÄin would write for Prelidžije's Ode ode preko Drine vode and KaraÄorÄe's Deset zapovijesti. He wrote "Ti si mene veÄ zaboravila" for DrljaÄa's Stari vuk and "Devetnaest sati leta" for Mile Delija's Dobro jutro selo moje.
In 2005, although Lazo would be the primary lyricist for Savo RadoviÄ's Nema dalje, Baja would write the last track, "ÄaÅ¡a s vinom". This would mark the last year Baja was involved with Nina Trejd before its rebranding to Nidžo Music. In 2006, Baja would write "Lane" and "BeÄke bauÅ¡tele" for the Sinovi ManjaÄe album 10 godina sa vama. The album also contains a cover of "Nema raja". In 2007, he would work together with his cousin again on the Plavi AnÄeli album, Selo moje kraj ManjaÄe and Grupa Jezero's ZaviÄaj je moje blago. In 2008, he wrote "Nemam viÅ¡e ni druga ni tebe" for the Momo i Dodir album Ima dana... and worked with his cousin on another Grupa Jezero album: Nikad nije dosta. In 2009, he would reunite with Gordan KrajiÅ¡nik and wrote "Daljine plave" for the album Samo tako postaje se neko. This would be the last time Baja would write for Nina Trejd (at the time rebranded to Nidžo Music Company).
Slowdown and subsequent hiatus (2010-present day)
In the 2010s to present day, Baja's songwriting for other artists was sparse as currently only eight songs have been written. In 2010, he wrote "Stojane, sine jedini" for the debut album of KrajiÅ¡ka Grupa Gubin, Evo braÄe. Baja would not write any new songs for other artists for the next three years. In 2013, he wrote "NiÅ¡ta nije kao prije" for the Žare i Goci album, Aj' na megdan! In 2014, he wrote "Dinara" and "Nemoj Ružo" for the Goci i Lazo album, Pozdravi mi Krajinu. In 2015, he wrote "Lubav se ne kupuje" for NeÄo Bobar's Ruka desna and "Daleko si rodni kraju" on Žare i Milenko's self-titled album. Baja would not write for another artist again for another three years. In 2018, he would write one more song for another artist. "MaÅ¡tam o naÅ¡oj sreÄi" would be written for Jovan SekuloviÄ's album AnÄele plave.
As of 2024, Baja has not been officially credited for writing a song for another artist in six years, though factors such as poor documentation, the rise of digital media, and focus on his solo career as well as his personal life can be attributed to the lack of songwriting.
