Bijelo dugme ("White Button") was a highly influential former Yugoslav rock band, stationed in Sarajevo. Active between 1974 and 1989, it is widely considered to have been the most popular band ever to exist in former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and one of the most important acts of the Yugoslav rock scene.
The band history begins in 1969. At the time, the future leader of Bijelo Dugme, Goran Bregović was the bass guitarist for the band Beštije. He was spotted by the Kodeksi (trans. Codexes) vocalist Željko Bebek. As Kodeksi needed a bass guitarist, on Bebek's suggestion Bregović became the member of the band. The band's lineup consisted of Ismeta Dervoz (vocals), Edo Bogeljić (guitar), Željko Bebek (rhythm guitar) and vocals), Goran Bregović (bass guitar), and Luciano Paganotto (drums). After performing in Dubrovnik (before these performances the only female member, Ismeta Dervoz left the band) Kodeksi were hired to perform in a club in Naples. After two months the band's guitarist Edo Bogeljić returned to Sarajevo, and Bregović switched to guitar. Local Italian musician was brought in to play the bass, but after he quit too, Bebek called up old friend Zoran Redžić. Redžić in turn brought along Milić Vukašinović as replacement on drums for Paganotto who also quit in the meantime. Vukašinović brought new musical influences along the lines of what Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath were doing at the time. Additionally, he convinced the rest of the band on incorporating the new sound into their set. Within two weeks of his arrival, Kodeksi were fired from all the places they were playing.

The foursome of Bebek, Bregović, Redžić and Vukašinović stayed on the island of Capri. In 1970 they relocated back to Naples. At this time the other three members made Bebek stop playing the rhythm guitar reasoning that it is not fashionable any longer. Bebek also had trouble adapting to the new material vocally. He would sing the intro on most songs and then step back as the other three members improvised for the remainder of songs. After being a key band member only months earlier, Bebek was seeing his role gradually reduced. During the fall of 1970 he left Kodeksi to return to Sarajevo.

For their part, Vukašinović, Bregović, and Redžić continued to perform under the name Mića, Goran and Zoran. Eventually they returned to Sarajevo in the spring of 1971 when Goran's mother and Zoran's brother came to Italy to bring them back. Upon returning, the trio continued performing around Sarajevo, however not for long as in late summer 1971 Vukašinović decided that he would move to London.
[edit] Jutro

In autumn of 1971 guitarist Ismet Arnautalić invited Bregović to form Jutro (Morning). The band's lineup featured, alongside Arnautalić and Bregović, Redžić, Gordan Matrak on drums and vocalist Zlatko Hodnik. As the member of Jutro Bregović wrote his first songs. In 1972 the band got an opportunity to make studio recordings, and Bregović invited Bebek. With Bebek the band recorded the song "Patim, evo, deset dana" ("I've Been Suffering for Ten Days"), which appeared on the B-side of the single "Ostajem tebi" ("I Remain Yours"), which was recorded with Hodnik. Right after the song recording Bebek left the band due to his army obligations, but the rest of the band decided to wait for his return.

During Bebek's absence from the army the band recorded four more songs: "Kad bi' bio bijelo dugme" ("If I Were a White Button"), "U subotu, mala" ("On Saturday, Baby"), "Na vrh vrda vrba mrda", and "Hop-cup", the first two appearing on the 7" single. Dissatisfied with the music direction the band was moving towards Arnautalić left the band at the end of 1972 and took away the right to use the name Jutro from the rest of the members. The rest of the band and Arnautalić fought for the rights during 1973, when drummer Ivan "Ipe" Ivandić and keyboardist Vlado Pravdić (a former Indexi member) joined the band. At the middle of the year Redžić left the band after an argument, and was replaced by Jadranko Stanković.

At this time the band chose the name Bijelo Dugme. They decided to change the name partially because of another, Ljubjana-based band with the name Jutro. As the band was already known for the song "Kad bi' bio bijelo dugme", they choose the name Bijelo dugme. The band officially started working under this name on January 1, 1974.
