Plavi orkestar
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Plavi orkestar (in English: Blue Orchestra) is one of the popular bands from former Yugoslavia. The band was founded in Sarajevo, Bosnia & Herzegovina in 1983.
Plavi Orkestar is described by one music encyclopedia as one of the "cultural phenomenons of the 1980s and 1990s" (with 5 million albums sold). The band has remained popular to the present day with 8 albums and more than 1500 concerts worldwide. The band was formed in 1983 by Saša Lošić aka Losa who was the lead singer and songwriter of the group.
In the winter of 1984/1985, the band's first album "Soldatski Bal" (Soldier's Ball) was recorded. From this album the band had many hit singles such as "Suada", "Medena Curice" (Pretty Girl), "Odlazi nam Raja" (Our Friends are Leaving), "Bolje je biti pijan nego Star" (Better Being Drunk than Old!), "Goodbye Teens", and the title track, "Soldatski Bal". The album's lyrics were formed following Losa's experiences whilst working in the army.
