Nenad Radulović (September 13, 1959 in Belgrade – February 12, 1990 in Belgrade), also known as Neša Leptir (Neša Butterfly) was a former Yugoslav rock musician, best known as the frontman of the pop rock band Poslednja Igra Leptira.

Biography

Radulović started his career as the singer and the leader of the pop rock band Poslednja Igra Leptira in 1979.[1] The band released well-accepted albums Napokon ploča (At Last, a Record; 1982), Ponovo ploča & druge priče (Another Record & Other Stories; 1983), Opet ploča - Srce od meda (Again, a Record - Heart Made of Honey; 1985), Grudi moje balkanske (My Balkan Heart; 1986) and Zajedno smo piškili u pesku (We Peed in the Sand Together; 1987) before disbanding in 1989.[1] During the same year, Radulović released his only solo album Niko nema što piton imade (Nobody Has what the Python Has), produced by Srđan Marjanović,[2] which parodied "novokomponovana muzika".[1] He started working on the new album, but managed to record only the song "Modra bajka" ("Livid Fairytale") before he died of tumor on February 12, 1990.[1] The song, Modra bajka, was released for the first time on the Poslednja Igra Leptira compilation album Modra bajka - Best of (1997).[1]

Legacy

In December 2011, a plateau in Belgrade was named after Radulović.[3] In October 2012, a commemorative plaque in memory of Radulović was revealed in Lajkovac.[4]
