I'm tagging you guys because I saw you were the original posters of most of her songs.
My question is why is the language listed as Bosnian? As far as I can tell, she is Franco-Croatian (this is what her Spotify profile says).
This interview says she was born in Zagreb, raised in France, and now lives in Sarajevo. It also says she goes by Macha Ravel professionally now. I think her lyrics should be categorized as Croatian.
Hi! Thanks for telling me (and for your translation). I actually didn't quite understand where she was from and since when I first found her page here on LT I found written in the country section "Bosnia" I just went blankly on writing "bosnian" in the language box of her songs given for granted that she was from there (unfortunately I don't speak any of the former yugoslavian languages and I cannot tell them apart :( ). I will change it to Croatian then! (I noticed that she was "registered" here with her former aliases but I didn't know how to change it on the page ...)
Thanks for pointing it out!
I know Macha and the language she speaks is a mixture but it leans towards Bosnian as she uses Bosnian slang in her songs. Additionally she has picked up the Bosnian accent and the place she's creating her current music is Bosnia. Also, she said she belongs to Bosnia more, than Croatia.
