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'.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
