After the song "Stop peer violence", the band Party Makers kept their promise yesterday and released another socially engaged track, this time dedicated to a topic that has been discussed more and more recently in Montenegro - selective abortions, and is symbolically titled "Za mene you are wanted".
"It is no coincidence that the Montenegrin punk band Party Makers released another original and socially engaged song on the International Day of the Female Child (October 11). This time the focus is on selective sex selection and in some cases forced abortions", says the announcement of the song.
"The song is dedicated to our girls, the entire female gender and those who were deprived of the chance to be them in a heartless and cruel way," Party Makers say.
Saša Jovetić, better known as "old Šurda" is also the author of this song, and this time his daughter also helped in the work Tanya Perez Jovetic, who plays violin and piano as part of the musical prologue at the beginning of "Za mene si željena", while the final word is given by a high school student Dajna Radovic.
"Selective abortion - unfortunately, this is not a new term, and it became easily available with the introduction of early prenatal tests into wider application. Namely, it is a situation when couples learn that they are expecting a female baby, and decide to have an abortion in the hope that their next child will be a boy. As a consequence of the patriarchal orientation, many societies consider the birth of a male child a great success, both for the family and for the rest of society. This is, unfortunately, extremely well known to us in Montenegro. The UN Population Fund states that Montenegro is among the first countries with the greatest imbalance in the number of newborn male and female children. According to this source, for every 110 boys born, only 100 girls are born in Montenegro on average," reminds Radović.
Ivan Ivanovic (Drummers and dogs), Stefan Pantović (Parampaščad) and Ivan Jokanović they also contributed to the work on the song, which was recorded and produced in the "Stivi" studio.
"We would also like to thank PAM (Music Authors' Rights) of Montenegro, who was the only one who recognized the importance of this project of ours and helped financially to make it happen," Party Makers said.
