This album is dedicated to the
memory of Dr Irfan Ljubijankic who was sadly killed
towards the end of the Bosnian war in 1995 when
the helicopter he was flying in was shot down
by a Serb rocket. He had been visiting his beloved
home town of Bihac, at that time the front line
against the attacking forces. A few months earlier
in his role as the Foreign Minister of Bosnia
he had been in London. Whilst there he met Yusuf
Islam to whom he gave a rough cassette of a song
he had written and recorded at home, entitled
'I Have No Cannons That Roar', the title track
of this album. His hope was that Yusuf would use
it in some way to help the Bosnian cause. The
song was subsequently translated into English
and combined with other songs famous in Bosnia
during the war. Some of the songs are included
here without change, but heard here for the first
time on CD; others were re-recorded in London
and Stuttgart together with two new songs specially
written for this project by Yusuf.
