I'm from France, and last year I went to a goran bregovic concert (it was really great !). Around that time I checked his wikipedia and I have to admit I was quite surprised when I literally read that 'he became a rockstar in yugoslavia' with his former band 😯
Fastforward to today, I saw your post in the joker out tag with many recs in the tags (which is amazing) and I thought for funsies 'what are the chance to find him in there ? If they really were that famous ?'. So I went one more time to his wikipedia to look for the name of the band and yes ! Bijelo dugme was on your post !
Hehe
I know no songs from them though sorry
Also your drawing are great <3
THAT is hilarious oh my gosh Anon :'D
Yes Goran Bregović is pretty famous here and one of the classic artists, and he had a very popular solo career right after he left Bijelo Dugme afterwards (and founded the No Smoking Orchestra with the group Zabranjeno Pušenje as well, and apparently was also really popular in Latin America too???

A da nijednu volio nisam
Nešto mi šapne u srcu i znam
Da sam na svijetu sam

Stari mačak Goran Bregović ponovo se potvrdio kao velemajstor medijskih manipulacija. Vješto bacivši kost medijima uvrštavanjem „Pljuni i zapjevaj moja Jugoslaviju“ na repertoar aktualne turneje, najprije je podignuo na stražnje noge dio splitske „domoljubne“ javnost (onaj drugi dio je oduševkljen zborno pjevao s Islamovićem) a onda –…
