If you are a fan of zabavna muzika , rok , or narodna from the golden era of Yugoslavia, you know that nothing brings a crowd together like a good old Ex Yu night. Whether it’s a kafana in Belgrade, a diaspora house party in Germany or Chicago, or a family gathering in Zagreb or Sarajevo, the songs of Bijelo Dugme, Zdravko Čolić, Lepa Brena, and Riblja Čorba are sacred.
Now, open your laptop, load VanBasco, choose “Lipe Cvatu,” key change up one semitone, and sing your heart out. Neka živi Ex Yu karaoke!
