Crni biseri Biography
Crni Biseri (Serbian Cyrillic: Црни Бисери, trans. The Black Pearls) were a Yugoslav rock band formed in Belgrade in 1963, notable as one of the pioneers of the Yugoslav rock scene. The band started their career performing beat music, but later moved towards rhythm and blues. During the 1960s they became one of the most popular rock bands among Yugoslav youth. Although their popularity heavily declined with the arrival of new musical trends and the new generation of Yugoslav rock bands at the beginning of the 1970s, they were one of rare Yugoslav 1960s bands to continue their career into the late 1970s. Although they recorded a large number of EPs and 7" singles, they released their only full-length studio album in 1976, disbanding in 1980. The group made a one-off reunion in 1997, to perform a concert to be broadcast by Radio Television of Serbia.
