Indexi

Indexi were a popular rock band from former Yugoslavia, and are considered to be the pioneers of Yugoslav rock. Indexi were formed in 1962 in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and disbanded in 2001 after the death of Davorin Popović. The most prominent members of Indexi were Davorin Popović, singer known for his illustrious character, charisma and voice both on and off stage, and guitarist Slobodan Bodo Kovačević who is considered to be one of the greatest and most influential ex-Yugoslav guitar players. Other members of the band were changed frequently. Most notable were the late Đorđe Kisić, Kornelije Kovač, later known as one of the most prolific and critically acclaimed composers in Yugoslavia, Nuno Arnautalić, Fadil Redžić, Ranko Rihtman, Vlado Pravdić, Đorđe Novković, Vladimir Savčić - Čobi, Milić Vukašinović and Sinan Alimanović, widely recognized as one of the best keyboards/Hammond players in the region. One of their most notable songs is “Bacila je sve niz rijeku”, which was later covered by a number of ex-Yugoslav groups, including Crvena Jabuka, and used in many movies, like Lepa sela lepo gore. Other critically acclaimed songs are “Jutro će promijeniti sve”, “Da sam ja netko”, “Balada”, “Sanjam”, “Plima”, “Predaj se srce”, “Ti si mi bila naj, naj”, “Negdje na kraju u zatišju”, an experimental progressive rock song, and renditions of two sevdalinkas “Snijeg pade na behar na voće” and “Žute dunje” (“Voljelo se dvoje mladih”).
