Crvena Jabuka
Crvena jabuka (transl. Red Apple) is a Bosnian pop rock band formed in Sarajevo, SR Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1985. Since then, they had great success and are still very popular. They were a part of the New primitives movement that started during the 80s.
Formed at the height of the New Primitives movement, the band had endured numerous line-up changes. Their first lineup featured lead guitarist/vocalist Dražen Ričl, rhythm guitarist and primary songwriter Zlatko Arslanagić, drummer Darko "Cunja Jelčić, bass player Aljoša Buha, and keyboardist/backing vocalist Dražen "Žera" Žerić. In autumn 1986, the band suffered a setback after Buha and Zijo were killed in a road accident. The band then went into the studio to record their second album with Žera permanently becoming the lead vocalist. Though Cunja and Žera were originally permanent members of the band, with Cunja's ousting in 2017, Žera is the only member of the original band now.
The band achieved much success with Zlaja-penned hits – notably with their albums "Sanjati" (1988), and "Tamo gdje ljubav počinje" (1989). Zlaja soon became disinterested in the band with 1991's "Nekako s proljeća," and eventually quit in 1992. Despite this, in 1995 Žera reconstructed the band and released a comeback boosting a reinvented image.
