Bijelo Dugme, often hailed as one of the most influential rock bands to emerge from the former Yugoslavia, carved a significant legacy in the annals of Eastern European music. Formed in 1974 in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, by guitarist Goran Bregović, the band went through numerous lineup changes throughout its career but remained a powerhouse in the rock scene until disbanding in the late 1980s. Bijelo Dugme's sound deftly combined Western rock influences with Balkan folk music. They created a distinct style that resonated deeply with audiences across cultural and linguistic divides.

With a catalogue that includes hits such as "Hajdemo u planine," "Lipe Cvatu," and "Ruzica Si Bila Sada Vise Nisi," Bijelo Dugme rode a wave of popularity that saw them fill stadiums and dominate airwaves, all while navigating the political complexities of their time. Their music remains influential and has been remastered and celebrated in more recent releases like the "Bijelo Dugme Cd Box Set Deluxe (Abbey Road Remastered 2014)" and celebrated anniversaries with live performances, as captured in "Ko Ne Poludi Taj Nije Normalan! (Bijelo Dugme 40 Godina - Pula)." Bijelo Dugme's legacy extends beyond their original tenure, leaving an indelible mark on the rock music landscape in Southeast Europe.
