Živa voda ( Serbian Cyrillic: "Жива вода"; English: "The Living Water") is an album of traditional Serbian songs by the Belgrade group Drina, which accounted for Svetlana Spajić and Minja Nikolić. [1] In the form of a CD it was published by Radio Svetigora from Cetinje, 2000.
The album received very favorable reviews in professional and scientific circles, and Drina was assessed as one of the most successful Serbian traditional music groups. [2] Even after termination of the duo, singers continued cooperation in the Singing Company of Svetlana Spajić. [3]
At the end of a detailed and favorable album review, esteemed ethnomusicologist and music artist Jelena Jovanović concludes:
Active, conscious and courageous attitude of the young singer /Svetlana Spajić/ towards the traditional singing expresses complete, essential commitment to the work, worthy of respect. Before us is an interesting personality who with her interpretations delivers a valuable contribution to the renewal of Serbian traditional rural singing in the pursuit of personal and ethnic identity. Unusual and theoretically challenging is her readiness to come forward with statements and views on certain phenomena in our folklore. It remains to wish her, in the future work with her high-quality singing, to continue to amaze our ethnomusicologists and sometimes give them headaches with her irreconcilable standpoints.
