Baja Mali KnindżaBaja Mali Knindža (Serbian: Баја Мали Книнџа), whose real name is Mirko Pajčin, is a Bosnian Serb turbo folk singer. He was born on 13 October 1966 in the village of Gubin, near Livno, Bosnia.
Baja Mali Knindža is not to be mistaken with Nedeljko Bajić Baja, who is another famous turbo folk singer. Baja Mali Knindža performs patriotic songs and odes to alcohol, such as "Duni vjetre preko jetre" (Blow, wind, through the liver). Baja Mali Knindza is well known for his nationalist songs supporting the Serbian war effort against the Croats and Bosniaks. Since the fall of Krajina, Baja Mali Knindza has written many songs about his dream of the Serbian people returning to live in the territories occupied during the Croatian War of Independence. The songs also express his sorrow of living without his land. Many of the songs have become instant hits, such as "Ne rodila ni njivo ni sljivo". A sample of the lyrics from the song:
Ne rodila ni njivo ni sljivo / The plums nor the fields have grown
I sve im se osusilo zivo / and everthing has dried up on them
Sto sadili, nista ne rodilo / whatever they have planted, nothing has grown
Hej dusmani prokleto vam bilo / my enemy, may you be forever cursed
