Illegal river-boat houses dotting the Sava and Danube rivers in Belgrade, Serbia.
Zdravo! I’m really glad you’re interested in Serbia! This list is by no means going to be comprehensive, partially because my music knowledge isn’t that expansive but hopefully my followers will be able to reply with or send in more suggestions! This is a starter on some of the more popular groups of the past 10-20 years (the same groups tend to be popular for long periods of time) and many musicians have their songs and albums on Spotify! I listen to a lot of former Yugo artists since the language is basically the same so they’ll probs show up on here. Also, really, really sorry this took so long to publish.
Rap:
- I don’t actually listen to too much so I don’t know of any decent groups other than Beogradski Sindikat.
Rock:
- Most rock groups are remnants of the 80s and 90s and most of them aren’t strictly rock anyway:
- Crvena Jabuka
- Bajaga i Instruktori
- Riblja Corba
- There are many more and if you search for them on youtube, similar artists will pop up. It’ll be more helpful than me just listing random groups off the top of my head!
Pop:
- Zeljko Joksimovic
- Tose Proeski
- Magazin
- Oliver Dragojevic
- Hari Mata Hari
- Dragana Mirkovic
- Ceca
- Severina
- Sasa Kovacevic
- The list is kind of endless.
A good way to listen to new music and see what you like is to listen to internet radio. I listen to Naxi Radio a lot and they list the song, musician, and lyrics (which you can roughly translate into english if you’d like)! You can browse http://www.radiostanica.com/ and try out different radio stations - you can organize them by country and genre! A lot of it I imagine is just listening to things and seeing what you like and narrowing down a bit more what suits your ears! Sorry this isn’t as comprehensive as something that took this long to answer should be but definitely feel free to send me a message anytime!!
