Zabranjeno Pušenje

They were one of the most popular musical acts of the 1980s in Yugoslavia, selling hundreds of thousands of records. Band was formed 1981, contrary to the then prevalent punk rock and new wave, Zabranjeno Pušenje created a distinctive garage rock sound with folk influences, often featuring innovative production and complex story-telling. Many times they went into trouble with authorities for their, usually mild and sympathetic, criticism of the socialist system. During 1992, band split, Dr. Nele Karajlić continued working in Belgrade under the names Emir Kusturica & The No Smoking Orchestra and "Nele Karajlić & Zabranjeno Pušenje".
