VLADO BENUSSI & I CANNIBALI - Un filo di vita (1968)

 

 

VLADO BENUSSI was the guitarist and vocal of the rock band I CANNIBALI from Rovinj (Croatia). The band was active from 1964 to 1969. This song was recorded by Vlado Benussi in 1968 for the Italian market.

LAZA & IPE - Stižemo (1978)

 

 























LAZA RISTOVSKI (keyboard player) and GORAN IPE IVANDIĆ (drummer) were members of the most popular rock band ever in the former Yugoslavia, BIJELO DUGME. At the peak of their popularity, after they played in front of 100 thousand people at Beograd's "Hajdučka česma" free open air concert in 1977, the group made a break in their activity. Laza and Ipe decided to pursue their own ideas and they recorded their only joint album "Stižemo" in London 1978. The guest musicians included: Vlatko Stefanovski (guitarist of Leb i Sol), Goran Kovačević (vocalist of Teška Industrija), bassist Zlatko Hold, lyricist Ranko Boban and Ipe's sister Gordana as female vocalist. Unfortunately, just a few days prior to its release in September 1978, the police found illicit drugs hidden in Ipe's drum kit, so along with Kovačević, Hold and Boban, Ipe Ivandić was to end up in prison. Thus, this album never had a chance to be properly presented and reviewed and subsequently faded into oblivion. It is however highly recommended for prog fans to listen to it because it is one of the rare interesting works of the symphonic-style prog in ex-Yugoslavia, sometimes similar to Renaissance or Curved Air due to a female vocals, sometimes close to Genesis. Laza Ristovski, being on and off member of Bijelo Dugme and Smak during the 1980s, embarked on a solo career as electronic keyboard virtuoso making instrumental albums, while Ipe Ivandić was killed under mysterious circumstances in Beograd 1994, having spent several years in re-formed Bijelo Dugme, from 1983-89.

TONI STUDENY - Još šećera mi daj (1973) Single

 

TONI STUDENY was an Croatian singer known for his work in the rock band ROBOTI and THE FIVE UP and the hit from the 1966 "Mramor, kamen i željezo". Toni Studeny became a singer in the band ROBOTI in the autumn of 1964, after the group's singers Žarko Dančuo and Ivan Čižmek and bassist Vasilij Čaplinski left the band. He went to Austria with the ROBOTI for a six-month engagement. There, Studeni heard the then-popular song by the German musician Drafi Deutscher "Mramor, Stein und Eisen bricht" and he translated it into Croatian as "Mramor, kamen i željezo". Upon returning to Zagreb, they recorded that song for Radio Zagreb and then for Record label Jugoton, and it soon became a big domestic hit. Toni Studeni and Roboti were major stars of early Croatian rock. However, after performing in German clubs in 1969 around Düsseldorf and Koln, Toni Studeni returned to Zagreb due to vocal cord damage and withdrew from the scene. After that, he worked for a while as a disc jockey, and then transitioned to radio journalis as a collaborator on the show "Crvena jabuka" of Radio Zagreb. He worked at Radio Zagreb until his untimely death in 1999. This is his only one single record from 1973. (from wikipedia)
