Dubioza kolektiv (a.k.a. Dubioza as referred to by some fans) is a Bosnian band[1][2] whose music consists of various styles ranging from Reggae, Dub[3] and Rock intermixed with political lyrics along with uplifting and melodic tendencies.

History

Dubioza Kolektiv's lyrics revolve around themes of peace, understanding and tolerance, alongside an extreme criticism of nationalism and injustice carried in Bosnia and Herzegovina that resulted in the Yugoslav Wars of the early 1990s. The band was founded from members of bands Gluho Doba (Against Deaf Age) - Alan Hajduk, Adisa Zvekić, Almir Hasanbegović and Adis Zvekić from Zenica and Ornamenti - Brano Jakubović and Vedran Mujagić from Sarajevo. Later, guitarist Armin Bušatlić (ex-SCH, Beastly Stroke), drummer Senad Šuta and percussionist Orhan Oha Maslo joined Dubioza kolektiv.[4][5]
