The legendary Sarajevo band Plavi Orkestar, for many the most beloved band in the region, is returning to the stage, and one of their first concerts will be at Sustipan on August 24. Plavi Orkestar's career is marked by major hits, including the iconic songs: 'Kaja', 'Bolje biti pijan nego star' (Better to be drunk than old), 'Sava tiho teče' (The Sava flows quietly), 'Zelene su bile oči te' (Those eyes were green), 'Kad mi kažeš paša' (When you call me pasha), 'Ako su to samo bile laži' (If those were just lies), and 'Odlazim' (I'm leaving), whose popularity and presence have endured for years.
Plavi Orkestar was founded in 1983 in Sarajevo as part of the Novi Primitivci movement, which also included Zabranjeno Pušenje, Elvis J. Kurtović, and other iconic Sarajevo musicians. Critics consider the band one of the greatest cultural phenomena of the 1980s and 1990s, appealing to both older and younger generations of listeners. They have released eight albums, which have sold over five million copies in total, and have toured the world multiple times with over 1500 concerts.
