Summary
Ivan Ivačković: How we sang
Yugoslavia and its music
A capital work that can be read in one breath. An exciting and nostalgic book about songs and records that changed our lives, about the fateful intertwining of popular music and populist politics, and about the rise and fall of a country that the world looked up to with respect for decades. From the reign of popular music, through the rock and roll explosion, the emergence of punk and the new wave, to newly composed folk music and turbo folk, the book How we sang tells the story of the decades-long marriage of the state and its music. About how Yugoslavia and its music loved, argued, cooperated, clashed, separated, reunited and finally died together. Equally intended for those who walked and grew up in Yugoslavia, in whose memory are the Relay, work actions, the goal and goal of Josip Katalinski that took us to the World Cup in 1974, and those who were born when the ashes of Yugoslavia were already scattered in all directions, this superbly written book, enriched with anthology photos, is read and kept as a testimony of an unrepeatable time.
