Editor's note

Hari Mata Hari, the voice of a region's pop-folk.

A band from the former Yugoslavia whose ballads and folk-rock songs became regional staples.

If you need a place to start, 'Barbara' has that classic, wide-reaching feel. For the big ballad, it's hard to beat 'Strah me da te volim'.

For a lot of listeners across the Balkans, songs like 'Barbara' and 'Merjema' are just part of the air. Their 1997 ballad 'Strah me da te volim' is one of those tunes everyone seems to know. The music sometimes brushed against the politics of the 1990s, which gave it a weight beyond just a catchy melody.

They started in the late 1980s with the album 'Ne tuguj, Bosno'. Through the '90s and 2000s, they kept putting out records, from 'Ja te volim najviše na svijetu' to later ones like 'Baška'. The setlists always had room for 'Otkad tebe nema' and 'Kad dodje oktobar'.

Archive material and source history

Hari Mata Hari formed in the former Yugoslavia in the late 1980s, with Hajrudin 'Hari' Varešanović as the vocalist and frontman. Their debut album 'Ne tuguj, Bosno' came out in 1989. The band's sound drew from folk and rock, and songs like 'Barbara' and 'Merjema' found a wide audience across the region.

In 1997 they released 'Strah me da te volim,' a ballad that became one of their most recognizable songs. Their catalog includes albums like 'Ja te volim najviše na svijetu' from 1991 and 'Početni udarac' from 1996. Other tracks like 'Otkad tebe nema' and 'Kad dodje oktobar' remained staples in their setlists.

Their music sometimes touched on political themes during the 1990s, which drew both support and criticism. They kept recording through the 2000s and 2010s with albums such as 'Baška' and 'Sjetni dani.'
