Riblja Čorba

Serbian and Yugoslav rock band formed in 1978.

Last updated

Bora Đorđević, the band's leader, is widely considered a notable author in Yugoslav rock history.[1] Within the Yugoslav rock scene, Riblja Čorba ranks among the most popular and influential groups.[1] Musicians from Hladno Pivo and Bjesovi have stated that Riblja Čorba's work influenced them.[2]

Making and release

Đorđević started performing as a teenager, singing and playing rhythm guitar in early bands.[3] He formed the acoustic rock band Zajedno and recorded two 7-inch singles with them.[3] The band's debut album, Kost u grlu, was released in September 1979 through PGP-RTB.[4] The album sold about 120,000 copies and Đorđević was proclaimed Rock Musician of the Year by most music magazines.[5]

During the early 1970s, Đorđević performed a minor part in a Belgrade staging of Jesus Christ Superstar at Atelje 212.[3] An agreement to create a new band was reached by Đorđević and SOS members on 15 August 1978 at the kafana Šumatovac in Belgrade.[6] Their first single, "Lutka sa naslovne strane", was issued on 22 December 1978 and quickly became a success.[7] The second album by Riblja Čorba, titled Pokvarena mašta i prljave strasti, came out in February 1981.[8]

What the cited sources add

The Novosti.rs interview quotes Đorđević saying the band played on the rally "out of purely patriotic reasons".[9] In that interview, Đorđević stated that "Vučić, Dačić and the others are working for Serbia".[9] The same Danas.rs article quotes writer Marko Vidojković saying that Đorđević "entered the legend and came out of it".[10] According to the Al Jazeera Balkans article, Riblja Čorba and Prljavo kazalište were likely the most popular bands in the country.[11]

Đorđević, as reported by the same source, reacted to criticism of the band's performance at the SNS rally by describing the opposition as "pathetic and miserable".[11]
