Zadruga formed in Croatia in the early 1990s, with Nikša Kürtić as their frontman. Their music mixed folk and pop, and songs like 'Nekak mi je ljepše biti sam' and 'Ja živim vu malomu selu' became popular for their straightforward melodies and lyrics about everyday life.
Their work sometimes drew attention for its political content, particularly regarding the Croatian government and the war in Bosnia. This made them a polarizing figure in some circles, though it didn't stop their music from reaching a wide audience.
They released albums throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, including 'Kad je došlo vrijeme' in 1993 and 'Vječno mlad' in 2001. Alongside Kürtić, the band included members like Tamara Obrovac and Ljerka Očić on vocals, with Bojan Petrović on guitar.
