Prljavo Kazaliste

Prljavo Kazalište, which means "Dirty Theater" in Croatian, is a storied rock band hailing from the streets of Zagreb, Croatia. The band's origins trace back to the pivotal year of 1977, a period marked by the burgeoning rock scene in the then-Yugoslavia. Over the decades, Prljavo Kazalište has developed a rich discography that resonates with themes of love, social commentary, and the Croatian people's experiences, particularly during the tumultuous years of the country's war for independence.

Prljavo Kazalište surged to prominence with their heartfelt anthems and their ability to capture the spirit of their generation. Their milestone performance on October 17, 1989, in Zagreb's main square, gathered an audience of over 100,000 people and became a symbolic event in the lead up to Croatia's independence. The band, originally consisting of Jasenko Houra, Zoran Cvetković, Marijan Brkić, Vladimir Kocijan, and Tihomir Fileš, went through several lineup changes but maintained its core identity. Releases like "30 Godina Od Koncerta Na Trgu, Arena Zagreb 2019" and "Xl World Tour Finale, Stadion Zagreb" commemorate their storied live performances, while albums like "Radio Dubrava" and singles such as "Moj Dom Je Hrvatska" reflect the band's enduring connection to their homeland and its history. Prljavo Kazalište's influence on the rock music scene in Croatia and the broader Balkans region remains profound, as they continue to inspire new generations of music lovers with their passionate and evocative body of work.
