1000 Japanese singing - U Boj


This very popular tune was brought to Japan by Croatian mariners (then within Austrian-Hungarian army), immediately after the end of the WWI. Namely, while retreating from the Russian Far East front, a taifoon carried their ship to Japanese coast near Kobe. The Japanese liked very much "U BOJ" sung by Croatian mariners, and since then it became very popular throughout Japan.
