Derventa will host one of the longest-running and most influential rock bands from the former Yugoslavia on August 15, as legendary YU Grupa takes the stage at Trg oslobođenja.
Founded in 1970, YU Grupa has spent more than
five decades writing the history of regional rock music, remaining true to its
distinctive sound and musical identity throughout its long career.
Songs such as “Crni leptir,” “Od zlata jabuka,”
“Kosovski božuri,” “Mornar” and many others have achieved cult status and
continue to be passed down from one generation to another.
Brothers Dragi and Žika Jelić, the band's founders, are among the few musicians in the region who continue to actively perform in front of audiences more than 55 years after the group was established.
Their energy on stage continues to impress
audiences, while YU Grupa's concerts are renowned for their outstanding
atmosphere and powerful live performances.
The concert in Derventa will give older
generations an opportunity to relive the spirit of the golden age of rock
music, while younger audiences will have the chance to experience live the band
that has left an indelible mark on the regional music scene.
The concert of the legendary band in Derventa
is scheduled to begin at 9 p.m.
