26 February 2013 at 22:24 CET

The aim of the Croatian members of Super Klapa is not only to show their traditional authentic sound but also to represent their music as a modern element of their culture and to sing it in more European way. Last week, the song has been recorded in the BigStudio in Bologna, Italy, where it has got a new and more powerful sound.

The Italian producer Luca Bignardi who worked with such famous singers as Eros Ramazzotti, Laura Pausini and Andrea Bocelli, made a final version of Mižerja. The producer of Mižerja, Nikša Bratoš, was very happy with the sound of his composition for Malmö: “We've got that big sound, the sound of powerful orchestra and the most important – powerful vocals.” Tomorrow morning, the Super Klapa will represent their song in the studio of HRT. Listen to Mižerja together with us on our Web TV at 10:00 CET.
