Bijelo Dugme were a highly influential rock band stationed in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, originally when in Yugoslavia. Active between 1974 and 1989, they are considered to have been the most popular band ever to exist in the former Yugoslavia.
The first single was named "Kad bi’ bio bijelo dugme". After the single was released, Bregović was convinced by the band’s manager to change the band’s name to Bijelo dugme. With charismatic vocalist Željko Bebek, the band soon reached stardom in the former Yugoslavia, as one newspaper put it, they sold more albums then there were record players in Yugoslavia.

One of the first bands I've been listening to. Some of Bijelo dugme’s the most popular songs are: "Selma", "Lipe cvatu", "Đurđevdan", "Ipak poželim neko pismo", "Ima neka tajna veza", "Pristao sam biću sve što hoće, "Loše vino" "Lažeš", "Ne spavaj mala moja muzika dok svira", "Blues za moju bivšu dragu" etc. At the time the band was strongly influenced by popular rock pioneers such as Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, together with blues and traditional Balkan music a genre that would be further explored by band leader, chef lyricist and composer Goran Bregović in latter years.
