Bezdan

Bezdan is the fourth studio album released by Serbian and former Yugoslav singer-songwriter Đorđe Balašević. The album was produced by Đorđe Petrović and arrangements were done by Aleksandar Dujin. Those two would be the key associates of Balašević for the next twenty-five years and become the backbone of Balašević supporting band The Unfuckables. The album's biggest hits were the ballads "Ne volim januar", "Bezdan" and "Ne lomite mi bagrenje". Live versions of "Ne volim januar" usually feature a long concluding monologue. "Ne lomite mi bagrenje" caused much controversy. Some critics stated that the song was metaphorically speaking against Albanian terror over Serbs in the conflict on Kosovo. Balašević later explained that "it is not a song about ethnicities, but about good and evil, and I don't regret, I called the Evil its full name even when others praised it.". Later, in late 1990s, he stated that "I didn't know that Serbs would become Shqiptars to Shqiptars. That turned around. We are the ones who break locusts now, but I can't take the blame for that".
