[edit] Band history

The band was formed in Belgrade in 1985. The band got its name after Kiss song "Charisma" from their 1979 album Dynasty. In 1988 Karizma won the first place at Gitarijada festival in Zaječar. The band relased its debut album Vreme je za nas in 1989. The band released Vreme je za nas in the following lineup: Dušan Zarić (vocals), Dušan Janićijević (guitar), Dragoljub Popović (guitar), Zoran Miletić (guitar) and Dejan Tomović (bass guitar) and Srđan Milenković (drums). After the album was released Zarić left the band due to his army obligations. A former Otkrovenje member Dejan Jelisavčić replaced Zarić. In 1990 the band was awarded with MESAM's award for the best debut act in 1989. The same year Karizma was an opening band on Kerber tour.

In 1992 the band released its second studio album U snovima with Goran Tadić (drums) as Karizma's new member. Album featured a cover of Oliver Mandić's song "Ljuljaj me nežno". In 1993 bass guitarist Saša Đokić and drummer Dragan Živković replaced Tomović and Tadić. In 1994 the band recorded demos for the album that was never relased.

In 2005 Karizma reunited with Nemanja Petrović (keyboard) and a former Jugosloveni and Tifa Band member Saša Đokić (guitar) as the band's new members. The same year band released album Retro-active, which consisted of the remastered songs from U snovima, song "Ludnica" recorded in 1994 and the new version of "Vrati se". In 2006 a former Ruski Rulet and Alisa keyboardist Nenad Đorđević replaced Petrović, and one of the Original Karizma members Dragoljub Popović returned to the band.
