Beograd
Beograd (Serbian Cyrillic: Београд, trans. Belgrade) was a Serbian and Yugoslav electronic music band formed in Belgrade in 1980.
Beograd was formed by Slobodan Stanić (synthesizer) and Ljubodrag Bubalo (bass guitar, synthesizer), and was soon joined by Ljubodrag's brother Milan Bubalo (rhythm machine, electric drums) and Dejan Stanisavljević (synthesizer, vocals). Influenced by acts like Kraftwerk, Ultravox, and Human League, Beograd played a pioneering role in the Yugoslav synth-pop scene. Their debut studio album, Remek depo, released in 1983, brought a blend of synth-pop and brass instrument-oriented soul. Although the album was highly successful, the group disbanded soon after its release, with the band members continuing their careers in other groups of similar musical style.
In 2012, Dejan Stanisavljević and Milan Bubalo reformed Beograd with a group of younger musicians, releasing the album Pola/pola in 2015. The COVID-19 pandemic sent the band on an indefinite hiatus. Although the group never officially announced their disbandment, there were no announcements of new releases or live performances since then, and Milan Bubalo died in 2023.
