Smak (3)

Smak was a Serbian and former Yugoslav prog rock band, with strong jazz fusion and blues undertones. Smak was formed in 1971 in Kragujevac, Serbia, by guitar virtuoso Radomir Mihailović, nicknamed "Točak" ("the Wheel"). The first stable line-up, in late 1974, included Točak, drummer Slobodan Stojanović Kepa, bass guitarist Zoran Milanović, singer Boris Aranđelović, and keyboardist Laza Ristovski. In 1975 they appeared as an opening act for the Deep Purple concert in Belgrade. After a successful hit single and a concert with Deep Purple, they released their first LP called Smak 1975. It was one of the best debut albums of all time in ex-Yugoslavia.
