During first half of 1980-ies a wave of new music and art happened in former Yugoslavia. Not being a member of Warsaw Pact, communist Yugoslavia had more liberal system than the rest of East European countries.

Unfortunately, this creative period ended with fall of Yugoslavia and civil wars in 90-ies.
