AZRA -
AKO ZNAS BILO STO
Rok potonulog vremena i zemlje
video spot
Azra was a rock band from Zagreb (Croatia) that was popular across Yugoslavia in the 1980s. Azra was formed in 1977 by its frontman Branimir "Johnny" Štulić. The other two members of the original line-up were Mišo Hrnjak (bass) and Boris Leiner (drums). The band is named after a verse [2] from "Der Asra" by Heinrich Heine. They are considered to be one of the most influential bands from the former Yugoslav New Wave rock era and the Yugoslav Rock scene in general.

They released their first single in 1979 with songs "Balkan" and "A šta da radim". The first album named Azra was published in 1980 and achieved commercial success and popularized Azra in former Yugoslavia. Azra recorded its last studio album Između krajnosti (Between the extremes) in 1987. In 1988 the band recorded 4LP live album under the name Zadovoljština (Satisfaction), after which Štulić disbanded the band. Štulić recorded three more solo albums since moving to Houten, Netherlands, where he currently lives in seclusion. A 2003 rock documentary, Sretno dijete depicts Azra as the locus of the rock scene in the former Yugoslavia during the 1980s, along with Bijelo dugme. Even until today, Azra has remained very popular among youth in the countries of former Yugoslavia.

In 1998, the music critics compiled a list of 100 best albums of Yugoslav pop and rock music. Five Azra albums were included, three of them in top 10. On the Radio B92's list of 100 greatest songs of former Yugoslavia, four Azra songs were included, all of them in top 20.

  • Voilo bih da se vrati, samo se bojim da bi onda legenda umrla. Kao Rocky Marciano, bolje je da ne uđe u ring za posljednji meč. Tako će ostati "nepobjeđen u povijesti". Ako se vrati bit će slično kao s Bijelim dugmetom.

  • Jebote, kud sam es baš ja morao rodit u krivome vremenu? Ako se Rozgica i Bieber nazivaju glazbenicima, onda su od 60-ih do sredine 90-ih na Zemlji hodali bogovi!

  • Brate mili, evo mi suze na oči.

  • točno se sjećam kad smo slušali ovu stvar i čitali komentare o nesretnim ljubavima ispod.. točno se sjećam i kad si rekao da ja ovdje neću morati ništa pisati.. a eto, poželjela sam otići i ti si me pustio.. nadam se samo da ne žališ koliko i ja..

  • I ova pesma mi dokurcila vise! Moram pola sata pauzu da napravim.

  • AZRA JE NAJJJJJ

  • @PoorScouserLuka tako je kralju!

  • ljudi, ako ovu pjesmu slušate zbog ljubavi a ne zbog nacionalizma, molim vas bacite oko na moj video, pomozite istrijebiti nacionalizam iz ovakvih bezvremenskih videa
